$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Cambria | | Strengths: | Looks shiny | | Weaknesses: | After today, I'd say the 3rd cog. | | Similar Products Used: | shimano hyperglide jazz | | Bike Setup: | Specialized P2 with all the goodies, except this cassette. | | Bottom Line: | Please do not waste the time and money required to experience the unmitigated displeasure that I have with this sort of component failure by lowering yourself as to purchasing this Wal-Mart grade cassette. It will break. Mine broke after a dozen mild rides. I have shimano cassettes from the 80's that are still servicable (and not too worn). My mistake for buying crud. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 30, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | Santos | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Came with the Bike | | Strengths: | Shifting is very smooth and fast. I like the ratio from one gear to the next better than the ones on the 9 speeds. I got exactly the gears i need. Perfect setup. | | Weaknesses: | none yet | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Rockhopper 08 | | Bottom Line: | I had a 9 speed on my old bike and even though I wasn't so sure about the 8-speed setup on my new bike I came to enjoy it a lot. I especially love the ratios the way they are set up. The gears pop in very fast without fuss. Especially out on the technical trail it is a real bonus. If this set should fail however i'd probably go with the PG-850 next time. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | cheap,but i don't think it's even worth the 30$ you have to pay for | | Weaknesses: | a feather is stronger than that. I mean i'm 145 pounds and i used the cassette FOUR (4 - quatro) days before one of the sprockets gave up, I used it downtown, maybe for 150 km, no big ridding, no jump, no downhill, no trails.... | | Similar Products Used: | sram, unfortunately, pg 850 | | Bike Setup: | trek 4900, i had to change the wheels and cassette because they were stolen, so I bought cheap wheels, and this very cassette to replace | | Bottom Line: | I really suggest you to pay 20$ more to get a cassette that will last you and is reliable. This cassette is only to put on the bike to say it's in working condition and ride in the park on Sundays. I really don't think the upgrade to a reliable cassette is expensive enough to buy this crap | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
