Strengths: Well made, well designed, low price. Interchangeable from MTB to road bikes and back.Weaknesses: Not particularly durable.Bottom Line: Good gear for the money. Compare with fancy road bike cassettes that can cost $200 and don't take half the abuse.
The MTB versions of these (30T or 32T low gear) have a really good spread of gears. Ideal for all-mountain use where you want a nice low 1st gear.
Note that 9 speed HG cassettes are interchangeable (ie fit hybrid and road bikes, too). I've put one on a friend's high-geared road bike. 32T = 39% more teeth than a 23T. Works great!

Strengths: Shifts Well
Easy to Clean
ReliableWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: I weigh 215 lbs and am pretty hard on things, and this cassette has never given me any troubles. Shifts fast and perfect. I have about 50 miles of hard XC rideing on it and about 400 street miles on it and no sign of wear yet. I guess it would help if it was lighter but then I suppose the durability would suffer. I would buy this if you are not super concerned with weight and just want a quality item that will work well for years. I would not buy this if you weigh any or all of your bike on a scale lol

Strengths: cheap price.Weaknesses: cheap build. A tooth broke off on my second ride with a new bike. =(Bottom Line: it was probably just a defect.. but i gotta give it a low rating based on it breaking so quickly.
