  1. need a uniglide cassette to go on an old 105 hub, anyone have one in very
    good to NOS
    looking for a 12-23/24 range

    let me know what and how much. Thanks.

  2. Do you need 6 speed or 7 speed?

    If you already have a Uniglide casette you can simply disassemble it
    and turn the cogs over so the unused side of the teeth come into play:
    just like having a new cassette. The Uniglide cogs are symmetrical
    unlike Hyperglide cogs. The only problem may come with the smallest
    gog (12 I gather in your case) since it has a built-in spacer which
    will be on the wrong side when the cog is turned over. With a 13
    tooth outer cog I have just gotten an additional spacer and put that
    under the turned cog, worked fine. Any spacer from any cassette (of
    the correct number of speeds) will work fine. Whether this trick will
    work with a 12 tooth cog I don't know. If not you'd need to find a
    new 12 tooth cog.

    Good luck,
    Bob

    Get a 7-speed hyperglide cassette and file off the narrow keyway in the
    cassette. Works like a charm.

    Oh, yeah, you have to leave off the outside cog and use the original
    Uniglide cog which has internal threads.
