Compatibility
microSHIFT Acolyte H-Series 8 Speed Cassette 11-42 is a microSHIFT cassette. It is an 8-speed component. Everything listed below was matched on a specification we hold for both parts: the interface each pairing actually depends on, such as freehub body, speed count, actuation or mounting standard. Where we could not verify that interface, the part is left out rather than assumed to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fits microSHIFT Acolyte H-Series 8 Speed Cassette 11-42?
On this page we list wheels with a compatible freehub, chains for this cassette, rear derailleurs for this cassette. Each listing was matched on a specification we hold for both parts; anything we could not verify is omitted rather than assumed to fit.
Can I use a higher or lower speed chain with microSHIFT Acolyte H-Series 8 Speed Cassette 11-42?
No. microSHIFT Acolyte H-Series 8 Speed Cassette 11-42 is an 8-speed component and needs an 8-speed chain. Chains for different speed counts have different external widths and inner-plate profiles, which causes poor shifting or interference with the neighbouring sprockets.
Which wheels does microSHIFT Acolyte H-Series 8 Speed Cassette 11-42 fit?
microSHIFT Acolyte H-Series 8 Speed Cassette 11-42 needs a rear wheel or rear hub with a HG freehub body. It cannot be fitted to a front wheel, and it will not fit a rear hub built for a different freehub standard without changing the freehub body.
