Splitting A Cassette

Sometimes the 3 pins are actually rivets or something, rather than allen bolts (Probably on cheaper cassettes).  Drill them out :-

Yep, my deore one did, I think I filed them off rather than drilling, so If you have a grinder, make life easier.

ah right. chances are it may not have an 18t cog.

Get yourself a DX cog mate, much better, chain will not slip off, wider base etc, hmm not sure where you can get 18t's seperatly though... I did have one that I could of sent you, but I think a mates using it :S

If not, just take a file with you, theres only 3 little pins to file down, be easy enough.

well on every cassete i hve tken apart and cleaned (cheap ones) there have been 3 allen bols on the back holding the min part of the cassette togeather, but the 2 smallest chainrings are not atached to the part held togeather by the allen bolts, they ar ejust held in place by compression from the lockring. so just whip the lock ring off, take the cassette off, remove the little allen screws and bobs your aunty, your cassette is apart.

IMO though, if you want to go single speed ( i assume thaats your plan) use the 18t sprocket and the spacers) i would get the dmr single speed kit, ive got one and its great, looks good too.

If your not bothered about the other sprokets, take a hammer and a chisel, just hit the chisel into the rivits a few times and they'll break and the whole cassette falls to sprokets and a spacers
