Swapping cassettes?

[Allen and Sharon Nichols]

Hi,

How hard is it to remove a cassette from a hub? I have an older
Raleigh with LX hubs and a new Mongoose full suspension. I want to put
the new cassette that's on the Mongoose on the rim with the LX hubs.
They're both 8 speed cassettes.

Thanks,
Al

It's easy but you'll need a chainwhip and a something else tool that I don't
know the name of.

A cassette key which locks into the cassette hub (specific models for
specific brands/types of hubs). You'd need a wrench to use it.
