The HG50 was Shimano&#8217;s workhorse 9-speed cassette, positioned between entry-level Alivio and higher-end Ultegra. All-steel construction means it&#8217;s heavier than titanium-cog versions but far more durable. As 9-speed components get harder to find, having a barely-used cassette like this is a smart spare or upgrade for anyone keeping 9-speed bikes on the road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Guarantee:<\/strong> You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Checklist<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Compatibility: <strong>Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo, 8\/9\/10 Speed hubs<\/strong><\/li>\n<li># Gears:\u00a0 #<strong> 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 Speed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22297,"template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[251,175],"product_tag":[5367,5371,2811,789,250,808,5368,5365,5366,3939,3933,5364,2937,880,5372,5370,5369,3872],"product_folder":[],"class_list":["post-22291","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-road-bike-cassettes","product_cat-c-road-bicycle-components","product_tag-12-23-cassette","product_tag-9-speed-drivetrain","product_tag-9-speed-cassette","product_tag-cassette","product_tag-cassettes","product_tag-chain-9speed","product_tag-close-ratio-cassette","product_tag-cs-hg50-9","product_tag-hyperglide-cassette","product_tag-replacement-cassette","product_tag-road-bike-cassette","product_tag-shimano-hg50","product_tag-shimano-sora","product_tag-shimano-cassettes","product_tag-steel-cassette","product_tag-tiagra-cassette","product_tag-touring-cassette","product_tag-vintage-cassette","product_shipping_class-bike-components-1-lb","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/22291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=22291"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=22291"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=22291"},{"taxonomy":"product_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybikething.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_folder?post=22291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
