- Calvin demonstrates how to remove and install cassette cogs and choose the correct lockring tool.
Important note!
There's another cog system called a "freewheel", and the procedures in this video are for cassette systems, not freewheel systems.
If you're not sure what you've got, watch this other video to help you determine which is which.

Why are we doing this? Sprocket teeth wear over time and no longer engage the chain leading to poor drivetrain train performance and chain skipping. This procedure is also used when replacing the cassette for an upgrade or to changing gear ratios.

“Thanks dad!” (In everyone’s mind)
Yeah 😂
Not dad but guru yes. The guy is so technical. I love it.
He's Harry Dean Stanton in my brain.
He's great, but put your feelings aside.
There's no higher compliment in my book!
Calvin Jones is the best tutorial on youtube. He is a real shop master, mechanic and teacher. I bet he can teach you Calculus and you get it. I watch his videos all the time when I need to repair my bike and when I'm bored. Tumps up Calvin, and thank you.
Man I'm a brand new biker and I am grateful that someone like Calvin is there on CZcams, passing on wisdom. Because I'm surrounded my idiots in my country, including the idiot who sold me this bike.
Absolutely true. In addition I like his 'Walt Disney character' like look
Could not agree more
100% used their tools because of these vids and I've switched to quiet, durable road tires, changed out the cassette for higher top speed and adjusted my derailleur to stop that annoying clicking noise. Top notch tutorials and tools
Calvin would be Shop Teacher of the Year, every year.
true
I love the way he speaks
Dude is money
100% agree..
anyone else watch these for fun ??
Mr. Jones always speaks with clarity and excellent diction. I only watch his videos when I need information on bicycle repair and maintenance. I will not rest until the city council erects a bronze statue of him at the bike lane intersection of Wharf and Government streets in my home city Victoria, British Columbia. Ideally, he would be holding a chain whip (or some other awesome Park tool) triumphantly above his head in celebration of having the best bike repair videos on the internet! Well done, Calvin!
Maybe the HMR-4.
the fact that he explained every lockering tool helped me so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Whenever I get the blues I click on over to Park Tool and re-watch my favorite Calvin tutorials. Boom! Blues are gone.
Thats ironic considering Park Tool's signature color hah
Simple and not wasting anyone's time. Best tutorials for bicycle maintenance on CZcams.
I bought a second hand bike cuz I was broke, it was broken and I didnt know anything about bikes... ended up repairing and buying all the tools... now I am building bikes thanks to you ❤😂
I know this video is old, but I got to say thank you! I've done maintenance on every part of a bike except 2 parts that I was always hesitant with... the cassette area and crank area. This video has helped me tremendously! It's WAY easier than I thought. Removed the old and installed the new cassette in about 10 minutes! Thank you Calvin for yet another helpful tutorial!
Lucky you mine has broken a chain whip and bent the second one it's ridiculous
Yeah Calvin is the double of my dad who is sadly now passed away, so I love watching these for that and the tips, thx Calvin
For 40 years I had freewheels. My new commuter bike had a cassette. Now I have new Park tools. Thanks!
Yet another thorough, comprehensive, well-paced, and detailed Park Tool instructional video. Thanks so much, Park Tool. You’re awesome, Calvin!
❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🌷
This guy knows his stuff. Excellent teacher in his field.
Back on full send only cause of you, my second try and I literally said that craxkin sound ain't good PARKTOOL gotta have a video on CZcams? Heaven sent, and GOD BLESSED you are. VERY SERIOUS ABOUT COVERING ALL THE VARIABLES, THANKYOU
I have many Park Tool brand tools in part due to these videos.
Calvin and crew do a thorough job with these tutorials.
You guys are the best...the information that you carry on your website and via CZcams is truly invaluable for anyone wanting to carry out bike maintenance....many thanks
This comes several years too late, but I felt the urge to thank Park Tool and C. Jones for their tutorials. They made my first rear wheel swap a piece of cake. I knew exactly what to do after watching this.
Park Tool blessing me with clearly communicated cost-saving tutorials once again.
While Calvin has a dry delivery, his videos are super informative and cover just about every possible scenario. I love this guy!
These tutorials are great - easy to follow and clear. Bought a couple park tools already and will continue to buy their tools simply because of these tutorials. Great work.
Calvin is a great teacher, i'm in the process of changing my cassette & now feel more confident than ever at doing it on my e-bike ! ! ! ! ! :-) LOL
I returned to this video after five years. It helped me rediscover my lock-tool, chain-whip and wrench. I do worry that I may have replaced the spacers the wrong way around though.
I've already watched the videos for adjusting front and rear derailleurs and then followed the process. Made it easy. Having changed my chain, I'm now changing the 8-speed cassette. The instructions are perfect. Thanks Calvin!
Top notch instructional video. I find these videos slightly better than CGN's tutorials...it's more thorough and cleaner presentation.
A trusted source to rely on for our covid stay at home bike wrenching hobby. Thank you Calvin Jones!
The best tutorial on CZcams 👍
Calvin Jones is the Zeus of the bicycle world!
Your videos are absolutely awesome. I had ZERO confidence, nor skill, but now i'm able to do many things, and i appreciate it. Thanks.
00:06:50 "If there is play, then it's likely there's a missing spacer."
Yep, thanks for the heads up. I wouldn't have noticed without this reminder.
Calvin is the best, His videos have helped me many a time. Precise and clear.
He just makes everything so simple to understand, fantastic teacher
The best cycling mechanic videos period. I Love this guy
Sometimes I press the arrow key to fast forward 5 seconds, but for this guy, I watch the whole video. I even tried watching him at a different speed like 0.5 and 0.75, and he's not bored at all. Thanks, you are the man!
You are a great teacher as well as a great videographer Calvin.
These videos are great, just getting back into my bike, and I’ve always liked doing my own maintenance and customisation they are helping greatly 👍🏼
Calvin is the absolute Best, if not he is the Master Jedi of bike repair...
Changed my cassette for the first time. Thanks again Mr. Jones! 🙏🏻
Love what y'all have done with these videos. Super helpful - thanks so much!
Thank you, Calvin. This video enabled me to buy the right tools (in my case, an SR-2.3 and an FR-5.2G) and remove and replace my rear cassette. Much appreciated!
Glad I watched this before attempting to remove my cassette tonight. You saved me from a lot of headaches Calvin!
Very clear & great tips ... took a lot of force so I'm really glad to have the right tool for the job and also thanks for the warning about the awful noise it would make when it first moved!
I love things that are exceptionally well explained. Great job.
This channel is an absolute treasure chest of knowledge
Love Parktool & Calvin’s videos! Thank you!! ❤️
Thank you so much for all these videos. I have been able to learn exactly what I needed to know and your instructions are so simple yet detailed. Again, thank you 😀
Thanks for all the help. This was really useful for wrapping my head around Cassette maintenance.
That tip for using the skewer is brilliant. My removal tool was like this and it took two people to unscrew the cassette. One to hold the whip and apply torque and one to hold the tool in place.
Thank you! This video helped me with my pandemic DIY project of upgrading the components of my old bike.
All how-to videos should be this straightforward and clear.
This video contains zero BS. I'm really satisfied.
Thanks, for all your informative hints, tips, and knowledge.
This video wins, adding the time to skip forward to is an auto thumbs up! Plus fantastic explanation!
Thanks Park Tool for your detailed instructions in great tools. Couple bucks more for not half and an order another tool after the third use is well worth that to me. I was sure I knew what I was doing but to see it done before I did it really helped me zipthru the procedure! Freehub off everything cleaned bearings back in in less than 5 minutes.
Anyone wanting to teach anything on any subject on CZcams should first learn how to from this good man. If only my school teachers were as nice when I was a kid !
Well scripted, outstanding clarity and excellent close-ups. Thanks for making this video.
@Carl Green By all means, fit that tool well.
Super helpful. Big thanks Calvin & Park Tools!
Thank you Parktool for the free tutorials.
This guy is GREAT. Got me into working on my own bike and I enjoy it so much!
I'm from the Philippines and I learn a lot from this guy, its so easy for me to understand him, this guy it so smart tanx...
What can be said for these videos! This guy is pure gold!
I am watching and enjoying this even though I don't even own a bike...😉
Well filmed, very informative. Two thumbs up
Great video and information for do-it-yourself procedure, thank's a lot from Scandinavia.
Calvin Jones is the best. Thanks for yet another great and informative video.
Calvin Jones is DA MAN!
Calvin you are a great eye to detail mechanic!
What a great video. About 2 minute after beginning and with the casset removed i thought that it was over, bu it keep going showing everything. Very complete.
Thank you. Very clear, easy to follow instructions.
Good God the best instructional video I’ve seen . I loved the overview the the detail and the perceived pull on the wrench of 50 lbs at 8 inches was amazingly helpful. Thank you very much.
It's such a GREAT video!! Really helpful for beginners. Thank you!
These tutorial videos are a god send. Thanks so much Park Tool!!
Thanks again! ,big master...simply the best, MR JONES.
As always, the best bike maintenance vids on youtube :)
Thank you for your time and effort Park Tool. helpful and educational as always. Keep up the great work.
You're the best Calvin Jones... Thanks!
Great video! Well detailed and professionally done! Thank you so much helped me out a lot!
Great video, thanks Calvin! It was nice to meet you in the Grand Junction airport and I appreciate the wrench you gave me! Cheers
Super informative & clear instructional video, five stars !
Great help, was able to change my sprocket quickly and easily, thanks so much for these great videos
These videos are incredibly useful
Thank you for these videos :D I started working at a bike factory about 2-3 years ago and these videos were really helpful even though I never got to building bikes, I take good care of mine!
I like this guy he looks and sounds very wise
Your videos are great and super easy to follow, thank you!
Thank you to Park Tool Co and Calvin for such awesome information.
the best cassette removal/installation video!!! thanks Calvin Jones!
watching this just prevented me from making a huge mistake...thank you so much
Thanks for the instructions. Concise and comprehensive.
Calvin, outstanding instruction!!! Thank you!!
I noticed Calvin using the chainwhip on the smallest cog. I always used the largest cog because I am probably doing it wrong as is my tradition with anything mechanical. I figured that there would be less force on the chainwhip and thus easier to use. Next time Im trying the small one.
Videos like this make me want to take apart my bike "just because" :).
Great video. Clear and concise information.
In Calvin we trust. Thanks for the video!
I'm so glad I found this video, this was a lifesaver.
I hope Mr Jones know how great this video was... nailing the removal of the cassette within 20s of the video - Right to the point haha.
Thank you for elaborating on cassette removal. Great video. 👍
Very informative video - EXACTLY what I was hoping to find
Great videos especially for the bike maintenance noobies!
this guy is a legend
If you disliked this video then you are an Skater 🛹 this video is perfect 👌 thank you
Wish I had these videos to refer to back in my early teen years (age 28 now).
These videos would have definitely saved me loads of time and frustration.
Although, I did get by with trial and error.
As a teen mechanic, agree. ParkTool™ has saved me from many disasters through their guides.
