Shimano 105 hub/cassette advice ?

[Ian Raleigh]

Can anyone help here please ?

I've purchased some wheels and they are 105 hubs, the same as on the VeloBase website, do have a look!

Anyway there was no cassette supplied with the wheels and need to know if this 12t - 21t cassette will fit the hub, have a look at that link too!!

This is the first time I've clapped eyes on 105 hubs and really don't have a clue what cassette to use :facepalm:


Thanks in advance.
Ian.

Both are Hyperglyde so don't see why they won't be compatible

Best wait for more answers though

They look like they are early HG hubs so they should be capable of using both UG and HG cassettes.

I think you need a UG cassette for that hub. The lock ring on the cassette you show will not fit. You might, as Montyburns56 says, be able to fit the cassette but wont be able to lock it. I dont think you can buy UG cassettes new anymore so NOS or used is your best bet. Try Hilary Stone, Vintage Bike Cave, Ebay or here for the cassette.

105SC are definitely HG. Had them myself BITD. Even if you doubted it, the massive "HG" on the 3rd image on the velobase link, together with the word "Hyperglide" combined with the wording "Hyperglide Compatible" gives it away
