What is a MegaRange freewheel?
MegaRange is basically a marketing term for the 34 tooth rear sprocket that’s tacked onto that 7 speed freewheel. The 11-34 9 speed cassette on your new bike has the same size 34 tooth sprocket available so you’re not losing out there.

|---|---|---|
| Top sprocket_Max. | 14T | The smallest/hardest cog must be 11-14 tooth |

Do I have cassette or freewheel?
To determine if a sprocket is a freewheel or cassette system, remove the rear wheel from the bike. Spin the sprockets backwards. If the fittings spin with the cogs, it is a cassette system with a freehub. If the tool fittings do not spin with the cogs, it is a threaded freewheel system.
Are 7 and 8 speed chains the same?
Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo all use the same chain with 8 speeds. Chain for 7 speeds is a bit wider – 7.3 mm, while a 6 speed one is substantially wider – 7.8 mm. Going further narrower, like a 10, or 11 speed chain on an 8 speed cassette can and often does work.
Is there a 9-speed freewheel?
This is a DNP-brand “Epoch” 9-speed freewheel. 11-34t for wide range. Since 9-speed hadn’t been dreamed of when freewheels were invented, it’s a little bit too wide. On the plus side, this is as good a freewheel as has ever been made, and will last a long time and work with your modern shifting system.
Will 9-speed shifter work with 8 speed cassette?
Condensed answer: 8 and 9-speed derailleurs have the same rear shift ratio but only when both models are made either by Shimano or SRAM. In consequence, a 9-speed derailleur can work just fine with an 8-speed cassette produced by the same brand.
What’s the difference between a freewheel and a freehub?
The term “freewheel” refers to the whole gear cluster with the coasting mechanism inside. The freewheel is screwed onto a set of threads on the right-hand side of the wheel’s hub. On a freehub system, the coasting mechanism is a sub-assembly of the wheel’s hub.
