How to Store a Mountain Bike Gear Cassette After its Removal

So you'll see as I pull this off, that your lock ring is one individual unit. Then we have your small cog on this--it's a twelve, you can see the writing on there that it's a twelve, and then the rest of the gears should come off individually. Sometimes on nice, high-end fancy hubs like I have on this bike, the cassette bodies made out of aluminum and it makes it difficult to remove things. So what you want to do is stick your hands behind the cassette, sort of rock things back and forth and see if they'll come loose, and it looks like in this case they're a little bit stuck, so what we're going to look for is something nice and flat, like a flathead screwdriver that we can just stick between some of the teeth to get things loose. And as you can see as I stick this in here, things are getting a little bit looser. You can see things moving. And there we go, so I've got it looser, and it pulls off in one little assembly. So, got eight cogs here, your ninth cog's here. All the cogs on this cassette are riveted together in a carrier, and just take note of everything when you pull it apart, and next I'll show you how to put everything back together.
