this is the only guy that can explain this idea with any kind of clarity.

Dude, 4 years later, you are the first one to be clear as crystal about hubs. I spend hours before finding your vid. Many thanks, it helped me A LOT.

[borderway]

This is the only video I've found so far, including from SRAM, which tells you that NX and up Eagle cassettes will fit a Shimano hub. Well done!

[joerivandenput]

this is exactly what i was looking for! next week I'm going from 2*10 speed to 1*12 and now i'm sure it will fit :) thanks

[newttella]

Thanks again for another clear and practical explanation.

[AlvaroKuolas]

The idea with HG cassette core was to move the bearings from the middle of the HUB to be more closely as possible to the dropouts. It was very common in the time of "free wheels" cogset to have the axle bent. Unigllide and then HyperGlide manage to fix that problem.

XD and MicroSpline moves the drive side bearing far from the dropouts. From an engineering point of view this is a step back. HyperGlide is a superior design. XD and MicroSpline works because now we have better materials than we had 30 years ago and the axle is an oversized pass though. But the only real benefit of XD and MicroSpline is the 10T cog: nothing more, nothing less.

No wonder the only solution for 135mm QR is the FH-MT500, and maybe this is going to be the less reliable MicroSpline HUB in the lineup (but id does have a oversized axle, tough).

Finally a video that explains it in such a simple way. Thank you very much for making this.

[martinmbae]

Best explanation about hubs. Everyone looking for information about hubs won't look any further.

[rgarzari]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Outstanding!!

[nathanw]

This solved about an hour of "googling" trying to figure out how to upgrade my drive-train. Thank you!

[sir.hector]

Great short video. Very informative for us the new bloods in the game.

[ralexlu]

I really needed this right now. Only been riding MTB for a year and now im replacing parts on my "El Cheapo."

[Madbusop]

Thank you for your instructional video because I made the mistake by ordering a 12 speed deore cassette and didn't read that it was micro spline so instead of changing out my drive I'm sending it back and my local bike shop has a Sram PG 1230 12 speed cassette. Thanks again for your great instructional videos. Stay blessed and safe.

[actslore]

Why doesn’t this video have more likes?? This is a very helpful

[tonycastro]

Thank you, the only honest hub guy!!!

[UCmiwlBlRthCtZEojtg]

thanks, havnt built a bike in 15 years and was getting up to speed on what could fit on the kinds of hubs that fit my old frame and this video helped me

[nakii]

I have a plan on upgrading my mtb to 12 speed this coming november and I have an HG Shimano freehub body and I was kinda unsure whether the 12 speed cassette would fit or not. After watching this video I really learned a lot and gained more knowledge about the technical know hows of my bike, thank you for the informative and simple vid, thanks a lot, cheers from the philippines

[AJsomentx]

I'm from the future 2 years ahead, and I would like to tell you that Deore 12s M6100 uses Microspline (3:10 - 3:16).

[dannycruz]

2:40 this is what I needed to know. Thank you very much
Greeting from Costa Rica.
