Cassette to work with Sora groupset

woddow

Hi I currently have the sora groupset, but I'm finding the difference between rings on the rear cassette too stark. Does anyone know of any rear cassettes that will work with the Sora groupset ?

p.s, new to all of this , may have some of the terminology wrong, I hope you understand what I mean.

You can use another Sora cassette, but one with a smaller range e.g. an 11-28 instead of 11-34. You can get an 11-25 range if you go for a "105" level cassette but they are more expensive than Sora.
With a smaller range, you lose some of your lower gears at the expense of smaller jumps between them.

The important thing is that you get a cassette with the same number of cogs (9, 10, 11 speed) and one that fits on your hub: you can use a Shimano cassette or one that will fit on a Shimano hub.

thanks, the problem i'm having is that the Sora is 9 speed and Sora only offers the one rear cassette.

Here you go. Two options for you:

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cassettes/1125-ventura-9-speed-cassette/

or

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cassettes/1128-shimano-cshg400-9-speed-cassette/

or if you want super close ratios then a 14-25

https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-sora-hg50-9-speed-road-cassette/rp-prod387

You'll probably want a new chain to go with it of if your current one is new then you might want to shorten it by a link or two depending on your choice of replacement

I can't thank you enough , i think you may have ended my 2 month search for a solution.
