WTB: Shimano 14T or 15T 2nd Position UniGlide Sprocket FOUND
 
FOUND A 14T SPROCKET ON EBAY

EDIT: Further research, these were only used on Dura Ace Uniglide freehubs.


I'm looking for a 14T or 15T Shimano DURA ACE 6, 7 or 8 speed "twist tooth" UniGlide 2nd position cassette sprocket, the one that goes behind the screw-on sprocket.

These came in 2 styles: Type 1 with the the splines on the rear, towards the hub and Type 2 with the splines on the outside face.

I need type 1.

Here's a 15T for use with a 7 or 8 speed UNIGLIDE cassette and freehub.

These 7-8 speed UNIGLIDE sprockets are 5mm thick. The 6 speeds are 5.5mm thick but 0.5mm (0.20") isn't going to make that much difference.

But they're reversible. Doesn't that make them all the same?

What # of speeds are you shooting for?

I have a 15T Uniglide cog and your choice of a 6 or 7 spd spacer. Cog measures .073” thick. Spacers measure .141” for 6 spd, and .123” for 7 spd.

Not sure if this meets your requirements...

WTB: DuraAce Uniglide 14T or 15T 2nd Postion Sprocket
 
Thanks for the responses....

When Shimano introduced the DuraAce 11T sprockets/cassettes they also made special freehubs with a smaller 31.9mm-33mm diameter threaded section (vs. the standard 33.5mm threaded freehubs).

NOTE; There was a period of time when Hyperglide was being introduced that Shimano made freehubs with both external and internal threads for use with either style cassette.

No. Uniglide sprockets for both standard and DuraAce cassettes are 1.85mm - 2mm thick and are reversible for longer wear life.

The 2nd position DuraAce sprockets have a built in spacer and are: 6 speed - 5.5mm thick, 7 & 8 speed - 5.0mm thick. They are not reversible.

I'm looking for a 14T or 15T Dura Ace 2nd Position sprocket that has spines towards the hub side like this one. They only fit over about ~2mm of the splines on the end of the freehub.

Thanks tyler_fred 7 speeds. I'm trying to put together a 13-28T cassette. Last month I got a low mileage 1985-86 all Dura Ace bike with a 12-23T cassette and 53-42T chainrings. At 76, I have no need for 120" gearing!


https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...725119088d.jpg

I changed the chainrings to 50-38T and the cassette to 12-13-15-18-21-24-28T...

There aren't enough long straight hills with tailwinds around here to run the 50T-12T combo, so I essentially have a 6 speed cassette.

I have 13T and 14T screw on sprockets. A 13-14T or 13-15T small sprocket combo would give me more usable gearing.

zukahn1 thanks for the offer. I already have 12T-13T small sprockets. If you have a 14T or 15T 2nd position ring like pictured above that would be great.

I have Uniglide freewheels and cassettes on a number of bikes. They have a nice crisp feel when they shift. Not as nice a ramped Hyperglide but adequate.

Changing the freehub over to Hyperglide is more work and $$$ than it's worth to me. Done it before... Same with filing down the splines on a Hyperglide cassette. Plus I want to keep it all Uniglide.

Being a Luddite, I didn't have any cassette bikes until 2007 - freewheels and friction shifting only.

In my first venture into indexing in 2007 I built a set of road wheels using Shimano Deore XT MTB hubs.with a 6 speed freehub.

I changed the spacers on a 7 speed Hyperglide cassette and filed down the wide spines inside the sprocket. Finished it off with a 13T Uniglide screw on sprocket. It's worked great as a 7 speed!

I will dig into my cogs and look I have a several DA 2nd cogs similar to what you want but there likely the 6 speed that had seperate spacer.

This is the easier way?* Yikes!


*Cross with the confessions thread.
Hope you find what you're looking for:)
