The Shimano CS-M760-9 is a 9-speed cassette from the Deore XT series, designed for mountain bikes. The 15-tooth sprocket is one of the intermediate sprockets that make up this cassette.

Features of the 15-tooth sprocket (CS-M760-9):

• Compatibility: Shimano Deore XT CS-M760 9-speed cassettes.
• Number of teeth: 15 teeth, a chainring in the mid-range, helping to maintain a good gear range, suitable for mixed terrain and smooth shifting under various conditions.
• Cassette position: The 15T sprocket is typically one of the middle gears in common configurations like 11–34T or 11–32T, providing a good balance between easy pedaling on flat terrain and the ability to climb hills.
• Material: Treated steel for wear resistance, improved durability, and corrosion resistance. It is also coated with a protective layer to ensure a long lifespan.
• Hyperglide technology: Utilizes the Hyperglide system for faster, more precise shifting, even under load.
• Weight: Compared to other sprockets, the 15T is quite lightweight, thanks to the material combination and construction designed to reduce the overall weight of the cassette.
• Replacement and compatibility: The 15-tooth chainring can be easily replaced over time due to wear, but is usually sold as part of a cassette package. The Shimano CS-M760-9 cassette is designed for use with 9-speed compatible chains and derailleurs. Always check compatibility with your setup before purchasing the replacement chainring.

Advantages: Excellent shifting precision thanks to Hyperglide technology. Outstanding durability due to the use of resilient materials.
