Description:A workhorse mountain cassette. PTFE Teflon coated to offer longer lasting performance and protection. Just like a non-stick fry pan, slick and buttery smooth. 340g 11-32, 9-speed
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!
