from Idaho Date Reviewed: July 9, 2008 Strengths: Shifts great, lightweight, stays clean inside better now that it uses the aluminum spider (which is really just a cosmetic plus) Weaknesses: Sometimes the chain jumps over the largest cog into the spokes (has only happened a couple times). The cassette has rivets to hold the large cog on the spider, and those rivets are not quite thick enough to keep the chain from going down past the cog, wedging awkwardly under my cassette (in a space that didn't exist until this spider design came out). Yet the rivets are the perfect thickness to hold the chain in there and give you a hell of a time trying to get the chain back out. When I say a hell of a time I mean 10 minutes of struggling and hoping you don't break the chain or cassette or your derailleur from all the pulling. But I have gotten it out each time with no damage. Shimano needs to make the rivets either thicker OR thinner to solve this problem! Personally I just don't shift into the first cog anymore, I find that at my slower than average cadence, 2nd gear is better in even the steepest climbs, because any slower and I'll be fighting to keep the bike pointed uphill. In other words I use only 8 speeds which is another problem, these should have different gearings available than just 11-32 or 11-34. 2nd problem is worse, somehow the 2nd smallest cog doesn't grip the chain. 7th and 9th work perfectly, but any significant power in 8th gear and the chain skips. It is a real PITA when riding to the trail head, it seems as though every stop sign I pull away from I'm in 8th gear unless and it skips like crazy. I don't know how it got this way, but I haven't been very hard on it nor is it very old. It sounds as though the newer spiders have 5 arms and these haven't been bending the large cogs like the 4 arm spiders they were originally making. I also haven't had any trouble with it developing play, with approx 100 hours on the cassette.

Bike Setup: hardtail 3x9, sram long cage rear derailleur and sram chain.

from Yigo Guam Date Reviewed: March 22, 2008 Strengths: Light wieght, well built. Just looking at it copared to lower end cassettes and you can tell that there is qaulity built in to this cassette Weaknesses: My spoke protector would fit with this cassette. Yah some say spoke protectors are overrated, but have you ever had to pull your derailer out of your spokes ten miles from home. Yes that can be a long walk Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Mt Tenjo, Channel 10 area Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $99.00 Purchased At: EBay Similar Products Used: Stock Sram casssette that came on the bike Bike Setup: '04 Fisher Marlin, stock with the following upgrades; LX M580 shifters, XT M770 front derailer, XT M770 crankset

from Davis, CA Date Reviewed: December 10, 2006 Strengths: Easy to find, and very common Weaknesses: WEAK larger gears. I don't know if it is the fault of the 4-arm carrier, or the material of the gears. On the second ride of my new bike, I bent the second largest gear like it was butter. And was doing nothing more exciting than - you guessed it - changing gears. First time in 30 years of riding that I've ever bent a cassette gear, and I bent it GOOD. Yes, I can bend it back to *almost* where it should be, but what gives? This is the XT level? One from the top? Please. I just swapped it out with a SRAM 990, and the five arms and sturdier gears at least look like they'll stand up to far more miles. I honestly haven't had a chance to ride it yet, but here's hoping.
