Can anyone describe the differences between Shimano HG and IG lines of cassettes, and tell me why I cant find any info on an HG-8 11-32 Mega Range? All I can find is 11-34 info.

Thanks,

IG was a systen where both sides of the cog was ramped to aid shifting in both directions, and an IG chain was recommended for best results. Maybe there was no 11x32 8 speed, as I can't find one listed either. There is 9 speed 11x32 and 34

I can't find one listed either, 'cept for on the Specialized website, and on my cassette... I've got one, just can't seem to find anyone who carries them, or knows anything about them.

Maybe you better see if Specialized will sell you one.Sheldon Browwn does not list them either. Why not replace with an IG 11x34, if that is the game?
