## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this cassette work on a 24" youth mtb?  Want to make my sons bike more capable than the 28 tooth cassette provides**
A: If the 24 inch bike hub is a freehub and uses an 8 gear cassette, it should work. This will not work with a freewheel hub. This cassette also requires the correct Microshift derailleur and shifter. Recommend the derailleur with clutch and a crank gear with 30 - 34 teeth. I have a 26'er with this setup and it works very well.

**Q: Does this come with a spacer? Thanks!**
A: No spacer provided.  Fits fine on normal 8 speed hubs.

**Q: Will this cassette work with Shimano 8-speed derailleurs and shifters?**
A: Works with mine

**Q: What type of hub? Threaded or spline?**
A: Works with Shimano HG series hubs which have splines.
