Submitted by Jim a Cross Country Rider from California Date Reviewed: July 19, 2006
Duration Product Used:	More than 3 years
Price Paid:	$60.00
Purchased At:	A bicycle Odyssey
Strengths:	After 3 years it still shifts smoother than my Shimano Cassette
Weaknesses:	Only available in Black
Similar Products Used:	Sram Shimano
Bottom Line:	Most cassettes from major makers are all made equal but the addition of teflon not only makes it shift better but mud doesn't stick either.

Favorite Trail:	scotty's
Duration Product Used:	3 months
Price Paid:	$30.00
Purchased At:	price point
Strengths:	drilled and ramped, light and teflon coated.
Weaknesses:	none so far, how long will the coating last?
Similar Products Used:	SRAM/ shimano cassettes
Bike Setup:	Norco Bigfoot, Avid BB7, Spinergy Xyclone, Sram x9 trigger/rear drail, SID rockshox, rider, seat, etc...
Bottom Line:	This Cog seems as good as any 300 gram cogs, no wear but its early. The effectiveness of lowering the "drag" between chain and cog seems less useful (20/20 hindsight) than the teflon coated chain, but im also not an engineer. Bottom line is the cost of this cassette is much better than the equivilant Sram or shudder shimano price. I would buy it again, but the real jem is the Black lightning chain!

Duration Product Used:	6 months
Strengths:	Teflon Coated, although that wears off really quickly, so none.
Weaknesses:	Doesn't allow proper shifting
Similar Products Used:	Shimano XT, LX

Bottom Line:	Well, I bought this thinking I'd try something new. Big mistake. It has skipped gears since the day I bought it. Don't waste yer money.
