Fits on the 8-11 spd shimano hubs perfectly so no need to use a spacer with a 7 spd cassette. Has the same gear spacing as a 7 spd cassette just with an extra cog so I can still easily switch back and forth between these new wheels and my old 7 spds without needing to do much tuning to the shifter. Just dont get to use the largest cog since my shifter is only a 7 spd. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of bang for your buck *by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2014* This is Shimano's 'low end' 8 speed cassette. That basically translates into it being heavier and not as pretty to look at as their higher tier parts. I installed this on my 'utility / commuter bike', for which aesthetics and (low) weight are not high up on my list of priorities. What is important to me is performance and durability, which this part will certainly give you. There are various speciality tools that will work for installation. I used a chain whip and cassette lockring remover, which are also nice tools to have on hand if you ever need to replace a broken spoke. Shimano is known for delivering very good performance throughout their range of parts, even on the low end. So while this cassette may not win awards for it's use of exotic materials, light weight, or 'bling factor', it will help you achieve positive and crisp shifting at a low price point and is likewise built for durability. To me, that makes it a winner.Great for:commuter bikes (riding to work, ect)utility bikes (picking up groceries, running errands, getting around town)casual (pleasure) riding, or riding for fitness.Not recommended for:racing or competitive riding (triathlons, duathlons, time trials, road racing)'blinging' out your ride ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Megarange version *by F***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020* Cheap, works fine. Good gear selection. Megarange easy to get in and out of. Great for 27.5 or lower wheel sizes, as you get a ton of climbing power and still reasonable gearing when using a 22 or 28 chainring.Do not recommend megarange version if you have 29 wheels or less than 3 chainrings. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/318513644-altus-shimano-cassette-sprocket-cs-hg31](https://www.desertcart.it/products/318513644-altus-shimano-cassette-sprocket-cs-hg31) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
