Dear Diane-
Thank you so much for the hyperglide. It will come in handy each and every time we need to go to the ozone repository for more electrocubes. Lord knows we’ll go through plenty with the upcoming crystalized spawnsprout! Speaking of which, how is Saldor? I bet he's ready to hop on the next beta transport to the outer photonosphere. Kidding of course. Tell him the next round of mind libations is on me.
Thanks again and hope all is well. Looking forward to seeing you at the next clonefest (unless of course it's canceled due to the pulse wars).
Cordials and Phasewaves,
Richard

Hyperglide refers to the freehub, which is what the cassette is placed on. Hyperglide freehubs use a lockring to hold the cassette in place that screws on to the inner part of the freehub. Old Uniglide freehubs used threads on the smallest cog to hold the rest of the cogs in place. This new system was developed along with the ramps stamped into the cogs to align all the cogs' ramps with one another to perform as described in the paragraphs above this one. The ramps however are not necessary for your cassette to fit a Hyperglide freehub. Companies other than Shimano still produce cassettes without ramps that fit the Hyperglide freehub body.
