Bike Friday cassette

I have my friends Bike Friday Crusoe in the shop in need of a new chain and cluster. I was wondering if anyone knew a good source for the Shimano 9-26 cassette which fits the Capreo hub. All efforts have failed so far.

the 9 is smaller than possible with common cassettes .. S-A cassette/3 speed hub combination

can turn that 12t into a 9 in high overdrive range in the hub .. 1.33 :1 12 x .75 [1st is 3/4. 3rd is 4/3]

Which one do you mean ?

The Ice 9s 9-32t ?

I think that ICE is still making it and selling trikes with this option.

But the current solution for new bikes/wheels with small wheels is to go for the new hubs XD, XDR or microspline that accept cogs smaller than 11t.
