Swapping out the rear cassette?

Skippy2309

Well I am thinking of redoing my rear cassette, its a shimano 7speed but its only a 14tooth (smallest) just saw one on Wiggle for £15 with a 25-11 tooth range, would it be a simple swap or will i need to get a new chain, etc

Want to know as I am completely stripping the bike again this weekend for its respray (currently riding with it just primer grey.... will have its new paint this weekend) would be nice to swap out the cassette while the bikes in bits.

Any help would be great

first check that it is a Cassette and not a spin on free wheel.

Chain length is more to do with the big cogs.

but i would get a new one anyway.

Right just checked and I have a Shimano MF-TZ07 7 Speed Freewheel, 14/28

Can I swap it for one of these

Will it be compatible?

I am googling but cant find anything so far...

Nope can't use a cassette, you need a freewheel.
