System Requirements continuity 2013 Box Contains 1 x CASSETTE Review: Does what it says on the box . Genuine part - Great cassette , reasonable price and it will do it's turn im sure. Review: A good replacement or upgrade Shimano cassette. - Good quality Shimano cassette for your HG hub. I bought this to replace the factory fitted Sunrace cassette that came on my Merida hybrid bike. The hardest part of any cassette installation is getting the old one off. The Shimano nickel finish looks amazing and the black decals go with my black bike. Paired with a new chain I hope to get well over 2000 miles out of this before I consider changing it. Disappointingly the desertcart service on this order was poor - it stated delivery within a few days but it took nearly a month and arrived from Europe. Seeing as I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere with a quicker lead time i nearly cancelled the order. Luckily I wasn’t in a rush for it. ## Features - Warning:This toy does not provide protection - High quality 8-speed cassette - Hyper glide sprockets have a computer designed tooth configuration with contoured shift gates - Close ratio gearing allows a more efficient use of energy through finer cadence control - Sprockets are cut away to further reduce weight without reducing rigidity - Nickel-plated finish offers hard wearing resistance to corrosion ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005OCL43Q | | Best Sellers Rank | 85,516 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 142 in Cassettes & Freewheels for Bikes | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Case Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Colour | Silver | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,934 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689228675735 | | Included Components | Pignoni | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 25.4L x 17.8W x 7.6H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Shimano HG51 8 Speed Cassette - Silver, 11-32 Teeth | | Item Weight | 0.3 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.3 Kilograms | | League | Shimano | | League Name | Shimano | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Manufacturer Part Number | CSHG518132 | | Material | Polyester | | Material Type | Polyester | | Model Number | ECSHG518132 | | Mount Type | Braze-On Mount | | Mounting type | Braze-On Mount | | Number of Teeth | 22 | | UPC | 689228675735 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Colour:** Silver - **Item weight:** 0.3 Kilograms - **League:** Shimano - **Material:** Polyester ## Images ![Shimano HG51 8 Speed Cassette - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91TZUT8bNmL.jpg) ![Shimano HG51 8 Speed Cassette - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Y5gBhHy8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it says on the box .

I bought this to replace the factory fitted Sunrace cassette that came on my Merida hybrid bike. The hardest part of any cassette installation is getting the old one off. The Shimano nickel finish looks amazing and the black decals go with my black bike. Paired with a new chain I hope to get well over 2000 miles out of this before I consider changing it.

Luckily I wasn’t in a rush for it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and price *by S***N on 10 December 2013* This makes a good upgrade for most 8-speed budget hybrids and mountainbikes. I fitted one of these to a Ridgeback Velocity and a Scott Aspect 50 and in both cases the bikes now run a lot smoother. In both cases I also changed the chains to a KMC Z8S and also added a new Alivio crankset to the Ridgeback. You'll need the right tools to do the job, a chainwhip and shimano compatible cassette removal tool (and maybe a chainbreaker depending on your old chain). You'll also need a crankset tool to remove a crankset (if you change it which is recommended if it's worn badly, otherwise the chain will wear out faster). All very easy if you've got moderate mechanical skills and lot cheaper than getting a bike shop to do it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano HG51 8-Speed Cassette - Wahoo Fitness KICKR - cyclists Cassette Removal Tool Sets - Chain Whip & Lock Ring Tool for Shimano HG Cassette/Freewheel Install Removal MTB Road Bike 7 8 9 10 11 Speed --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/48240775-shimano-hg51-8-speed-cassette](https://www.desertcart.de/products/48240775-shimano-hg51-8-speed-cassette) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
