Cassette Cogs in Wrong Order
Postby peter » Wed Nov 01, 2017 7:33 pm
Mystery solved today! An unintentional discovery, I installed one of the cogs in the wrong order.

Spacer is there but not showing in that camera angle.biker jk wrote:There's a spacer missing as well between those cogs in the wrong order.

It shifts smoothly, otherwise would have investigated and discovered the stuff up earlier.koshari wrote:iam surprised it shifted at all! (its not april the 1st by any chance btw?)

Agreed. No spacer between the 6th and 7th cassettes.uart wrote:I'm definitely not seeing it.peter wrote:Spacer is there but not showing in that camera angle.biker jk wrote:There's a spacer missing as well between those cogs in the wrong order.

Agreed, although I can see why people thing it's not. Combination of the out-of-sequence cog and camera angle.peter wrote:Spacer is there but not showing in that camera angle.biker jk wrote:There's a spacer missing as well between those cogs in the wrong order.

Yes, it's a pretty good optical illusion.trailgumby wrote: Agreed, although I can see why people thing it's not. Combination of the out-of-sequence cog and camera angle.

I have the occasional dumb moment like this, usually the next sprocket after a set pinned to a spider; the spider includes the spacer to the next sprocket, but I'll slip an extra spacer on where it shouldn't be, then end up with two sprockets & no spacer. And I do this for a living! Gets discovered in short order though, and is usually a signal to crank up the coffee machine.

I guest the situation could have illustrated more clearly by simply taking a top down picture.

When I take mine off to clean or whatever, I thread a shoe string through the whole cluster and tie a knot in it so that it's not possible to get anything out of order.

as was i, on closer inspection you can see top of the the plastic spacer material through the holes in the nearest sprocket.eeksll wrote:weird optical illusion, I was convinced there was no spacer between those 2 cogs as well

I recently purchased a Miche cassette for my 11 speed Campag bike along with a new wheel for my Shimano bike. The cassette had broken out of its packaging and had not been zip-tied together. I had to completely dismantle the box to find all the 20+ cogs and spacers and then put it back together in the correct order. Sounds like it was lucky that it worked first time.Duck! wrote:On a divergent but related note, be exceptionally careful when handling Campagnolo cassettes, because for reasons known only to them, 10 & 11-sp. cassettes have unequal sprocket spacings, therefore different thickness spacers. If you get them in the wrong order the shifting will go very haywire.
