9t Replacement for DK 13t 14mm Cassette??
In order to down-size the gearing on my DK cleveland, I have decided to try replacing the 12t cassette that came with my 14mm DK hub with a 9t cassette. This will do until I'm ready to spend $200 on a custom-built wheel or obliterate the current one - whichever comes first.
I've reviewed all of the online stores(Dan's, Empire, albes) for options but, I can't seem to find a quality replacement that should work. They all seem to be designated to specific brand or model hub. Does anyone know which 9t cassette would work with my current hub??

Oh! The Blackout 1pc driver!!
I mistook your short, quick answer as some sort of sarcasm until I saw your other posts. Think the Blackout would work?
The Cleveland is pretty good for a stock bike, but I'm heavy and I do alot of speed riding and street jumping. It's stock parts are already showing signs of stress. I've noticed that the seat/post creaks under my weight. It will be replaced with a lighter pivitol setup. There's also the tiniest bit of play(back/forth wiggle) in the fork/stem angle when I press the front wheel up against the curb while practicing my backwards riding. I got two free tune ups and a parts discount from the bike shop for buying it new. Eventually, almost everything but the frame will be replaced following a complete parts transfer to a new frame.

Instead of using the curb to go backwards, do footjams instead. They're more fun.
