I wanted to upgrade my son’s Giant STP 7spd to a larger 14-34t cassette, but like a dummy that didn’t remove the cassette first I bought a 14-34 mega range freewheel which obviously doesn’t work. But, I am trying to locate a mega range cassette to work with this hub. Does it not exist?
For background I wanted to do this because he’s almost 7 and wanted him to climb a little easier in the trails with me.

Don’t know if 7 speed 14-34T cassettes exist.
But 7 speed 12-32T cassettes definitely exist: Shimano ALIVIO HG200 Cassette 7-Speed 12-32T. Can buy it off of Amazon or your local bike shop.
Sunrace makes a 11-34 7s Kassette. Found one one Bike Inn for 12€.
Edit: model number is CSM40
As far as I know the most you can get is a 12-32T cassette, which it seems to me is what you have. With a front derailleur, which I imagine the bike has, this is more than enough, as you just have to use the small chainring. Without it, well, you’re stuck.

I have one of these 7 speed 11-34 s ride cassettes, they are great! Apparently designed by former sram employees in China.
