from Indiana Date Reviewed: October 7, 2008 Strengths: Never had a skip I couldn't tune out of it. Least inexpensive cassette worth a s#!t. Minimal wear after 5 years of commuting on it. Weaknesses: A bit on the heavy side, but more metal = longer wear. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: That one Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Came with bike Similar Products Used: Mostly other Shimano series. XT, low end stuff like Alivio that gets swapped out quick. No discernable shifting difference between XT + LX that I could tell. Bike Setup: 03 Giant Prodigy commuter. Mostly stock, some upgrades. Drivetrain is completely LX.
