Individual 9-speed sprockets 16 teeth or smaller are interchangeable between series except that those for a two-tooth jump to the next-larger sprocket have two shifting locations, while those for a one-tooth jump only have one, in a different location.

Can I replace a 9 speed cassette with a 11 speed?

An 11 speed Shimano MTB cassette will fit straight onto your MTB wheel which is running the 9 speed cassette. Obviously you’ll need a new 11 speed shifter, rear mech and chain too. Actually you won’t need a wheel, 11sp MTB is the same width as 8/9/10 sp, road bikes are different and 11sp is wider.

Can I put a 10 speed cassette on a 9 speed hub?

The most you should need to do to allow a 10 speed cassette to work on most 9 speed hubs is install a spacer behind the cassette to make sure the cassette seats tightly. You can put a new 10 or 11 speed cassette on any of the older 9 speed hubs.

Can I use any 9 speed cassette?

In some cases, it is possible to run a cassette from a different brand than the rest of your drivetrain. SRAM and Shimano cassettes, on either road or mountain bike, are interchangeable with each other as the spacing is the same between the sprockets.

Can you make a 9 speed bike an 11 speed?

Converting a 9-speed wheel to 11-speed You will have to buy a new 11-speed wheel and replace the entire wheel. On the other hand, if your current wheel is an 11-speed wheel, you can convert it to 11-speed by removing the low spacer from the low side of the 9-speed sprocket and installing an 11-speed sprocket.

Can I change my 11 speed to 12 speed?

The Ratio 12-speed Upgrade Kit allows you to pair an 11-speed SRAM shifter with a 12-speed Eagle derailleur and cassette—bringing the advantage of a wide-range drivetrain to any drop bar gravel or road bike.
