    Thank you so much. All of the size variations together in one place. I am drawing in CAD for my own bicycle construction project and this little nugget was just what I needed.

    Could you add the dimensions for Shimano 12 speed MTB to table 1?

    ‘Spacer thickness’ means ‘Thickness of spacer groove’?
    Sorry I am not good at english.
    If you didn’t mean it, how can I know the thickness, width and length of spacer groove ‘FH-R7070’ ?
    Additional, I want to know the thickness of crank grooves
    Thank you

      I mean “thickness” as in “how much space it takes on the freehub”. Looking at the dimension going from the wheel, towards the outside of the bicycle.

    Hello
    Shimano MTB and ROAD are the same
    Cassette pitch is 3.78 mm
    Sprocket thickness is 1.60 mm
    Spacer thickness is 2.18 mm
    See yourself on Shimano pdf exploded views at shimano.docs

      I couldn’t find where Shimano states the dimensions and cassette pitch.
      Or at least admits that 11-speed road and MTB cassettes can be mix-matched (i.e. that they are compatible) – which seems to be the case in practice, at least in my experience.

    On the bottom of all the shimano pdf cassette (link on my last comment) there is the parts and on these parts the spacer thickness is indicated.

      Yes, the spacer thickness is specified and that is the same width.
      Edit: I’ve updated the article by adding a link with more details, since editing the calculated spacer thickness doesn’t tell the whole story in my opinion and because an 11-speed MTB cassette will not lock on an 11-speed road freehub without an additional spacer.
