The close-ratio gearing of the Shimano HG50 8 speed cassette allows more efficient use of energy through finer cadence control. The sprockets are cut away to further reduce weight without reducing rigidity and the Nickel-plated finish offers hard wearing resistance to corrosion.
This 8-Speed freehub body from Shimano makes a perfect replacement (type 'A' Match) for the freehub body found on the M475, C-Series C201 and 2200 hubs. It is also compatible with the Deore M525 hub (type 'B' Match), though may not match in terms of material, appearance or finish.
Please note - TL-FC25 bottom bracket installation tool is not included. Sizing Options: English Thread: for bike frames with 68mm wide bottom bracket shells Italian Thread: for bike frames with 70mm wide bottom bracket shells
Dual-sided pop-up bindings position the pedal body at 12.5-degrees angle for easy and fast entry, with adjustable cleat tension and indicators to show tension for each side. The strong aluminium body of these Shimano DX Pedals is complemented by a super-strong and durable chromoly (CrMo) spindle while the open design serves to shed mud for a superb, self-cleaning experience.
The Dyna-Sys technology on the Shimano XT M771 cassette provides more efficient power transfer. The power of the rider is transferred more efficiently due to reduced chain tension, less need to change gear and improved continuous cadence due to a closer chainring combination on the chainset and wider cassette ratios. These points improve pedalling efficiency, give smoother and more comfortable front shifting while having less effect on pedal feedback when used on suspension bikes.

The 9120 shifters feature a re-designed brake hood that is more comfortable to grip, especially for those with smaller hands. The shifters also offer up to 14mm of reach adjustment. The shifter hood has been slimmed down considerably from previous hydraulic STI shifters and is close in size and shape to the mechanical brake lever. The 9170 brake calipers have been tuned to perform optimally in road racing conditions. They feature the Shimano Flat Mount system for a sleek and aerodynamic profile and Ice Tech pads for improved heat dissipation.
Finished off in the dark grey anodised paintwork, the Shimano Tiagra brake caliper is lightweight, durable and has a toe-in adjustable brake shoes. It's compatible with all the Shimano Linear Response (SLR) road bike brake levers. Please Note: The "sunken nut" mounting bolt that comes with this brake is the standard length and will fit most aluminium and carbon fibre frames. If you have an Aero-type carbon fibre frame with a very deep rear brake caliper mounting hole, you will need to purchase a longer sunken nut separately. Alternatively, if you are replacing like-for-like, you should be able to re-use your existing sunken nut.
The Hyperglide (HG) sprockets on the Shimano SLX 11 speed cassette have a computer designed tooth configuration with contoured shift gates, resulting in a crisp smooth shift even under load. Close ratio gearing allows more efficient use of energy through finer cadence control. Also, the sprockets are cut away and drilled to reduce weight without reducing rigidity.
Although the crank arms and spider arms are noticeably bigger, which increases stiffness, the overall weight has dropped by 7g over the previous edition of Dura-Ace. The crankset has been adapted to work with disc brake road bikes that generally have 135mm rear hub spacing and shorter chainstays without the need to increase Q-factor thanks to its wider chainring spacing. The Compact version offered here features a 50.34T chainring profile to offer an excellent rider tuned gear combination for varied conditions from flats to high mountains. Please note: Bottom bracket is NOT included.
The Shadow features a super low profile design that reduces the risk of damage from trail side hazards and the single tension spring prevents contact with the chainstay resulting in a silent ride.
Suitable for a wide use of cycling including cyclocross, touring, Audax and for drop bars and flat bars, the Shimano BR-CX50 model offers good mud clearance yet still maintains a low profile.
