Road Cassettes

Road bike cogsets: essential parts of the transmission

The bicycle cogsets are located on the rear wheel and attached to the hub. They are made up of several pinions ranging from 1 to 12, each having an increasing number of teeth which drive the chain and make it possible to change the transmission ratio. They determine the number of speeds of the rear wheel.

Bicycle cogsets are generally made of steel, and the most high-end ones are made of titanium, aluminium or magnesium.

The road bike cogsets are smaller than the MTB cogsets: the smallest pinion has between 11 and 13 teeth and the largest between 21 and 32 teeth.

How to choose road bike cogsets

It's essential to choose the road bike cogsets according to your practice and the type of road you'll ride on to optimise development:

For road use on flat terrain, opt for small cogsets ranging from 8 to 11 pinions.
For mountain road use, bike cogsets with bigger pinions will be used, meaning more teeth to climb the passes more easily.
For MTBs, cogsets are larger with a wider range of pinion sizes to allow you to change gears easily depending on the very variable terrain you are going to ride on.

Be sure to regularly clean the bike cogset and lubricate it to avoid damaging the chain. When changing the chain, it's recommended to change the bicycle cogset too.
