from Ypsilanti Date Reviewed: May 29, 2010 Strengths: Light, approximately ~220 grams (lighter than 8 speed XT). Individual sprockets can be easily replaced, if local bike shops would sell them... Weaknesses: Sprockets are connected to each other with one pin: when lock-ring is not tight enough, significant sprockets movement occurs... 3-4 gear sprockets wear out fast, careful and slow shifting is a must. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Poto Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: Shimano HG70, Shimano XT. Bike Setup: Cannondale with STX front derailleur and XT rear derailleur.

from Waterbury, CT Date Reviewed: May 6, 2007 Strengths: Shifting was smooth and seamless. 8 speed ratios seemed just right for me. Weaknesses: On first real XC, fourth smallest sprocket shattered right in half. I was in the middle of a fairly technical climb, driving it with all my might then *crack. I thought the chain broke and looked down to find this sprocket in two pieces. Could have been worse and I could have been thrashed to the ground because of it so I guess I was lucky. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: south mountain Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: DB Response Sport package 06. Its orange and it has a nice seat.
