Frequently Asked Questions
What fits Shimano HG CASSETTE 8s (CS-HG50-8)?
On this page we list wheels with a compatible freehub, rear derailleurs for this cassette, chains 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 Shimano HG CASSETTE 8s (CS-HG50-8)?
No. Shimano HG CASSETTE 8s (CS-HG50-8) is a 8-speed component and needs a 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 Shimano HG CASSETTE 8s (CS-HG50-8) fit?
Shimano HG CASSETTE 8s (CS-HG50-8) 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.
