   Oklahoma gravel approved.
   Due to my usual supplier having inventory issues I decided to take the amazon route for this cassette instead of a Microshift I was looking at. This cassette was installed on a 2008 Kona Dew Plus that I had turned into a gravel bike. So far I only have almost 200 miles on it but it’s been through rain, mud and a ton of dust and shifts great. I will update if I have any catastrophic failures 😛 On a side note I have taken it on some technical singletrack and this hub has crap engagement and being a cross country mtb racer I torqued really hard on this thing and it handled it fine. Definitely durable. Legit value for money.

   Here’s more info!
   1. **Gears and Shifters**: Use the shifters to change gears.2. **High Gear**: Harder to pedal, good for speed/downhill.3. **Low Gear**: Easier to pedal, good for uphill.Shift low for hills, high for speed. Practice helps!

   Great choice for most people.
   I have this on a bike that gets plenty of use, commuting and crap weather riding. I have been through one chain on it and it’s still going. The shifting isn’t Ultegra by any means and the gaps between gears are quite noticeable in places but it’s perfect for me. It’s been quite solid and reliable and has the range for my ghetto 1x setup to work really well. I just got another one so I have a spare on hand when I kill it. I’m hoping to get two more chains out of my first one. Good value cassette.

   Great Upgrade for Hills!
   Nice cassette and looks swell too! Don’t have much mileage on it yet, will update only if there’s a quality issue in that regard.If you are upgrading from a smaller cassette be aware you’ll need a derailleur extender to keep the idler from bumping into the larger diameter outer gear. They aren’t expensive and easy to install. Might need a little longer chain as well.

   Definitely a great upgrade but finding a rear derailleur can be challenging.
   I really liked this cassette but I had a difficult time finding a modern derailleur to work with it and be compatible with my 22 year old shifter.I used an extension piece to mount my derailleur further out to clear the 42T sprocket but I kept having issues with the chain derailing when pedaling backwards.To make it work you need a modern 1:1 SRAM shifter to go with your an old derailleur. You’ll have to Google your exact situation cause it can get tricky.On the plus side I never disliked the lower gearing or had issues with the widely spaced gear ratios.

   Material is too fragile .it bend too easily
   Price is great, product not great 😕

   Ok for normal use, but not overly robust in demanding applications
   In all fairness I am using this on a 2kW emtb ebike which is probably not what it is designed for. This is my second one, the first one wore out on most of the gears in about a month’s worth of rough riding. The second one folded like taco after about 5min of testing its ability to hill climb on the lowest gear. Chain alignment was pretty good, so I think I just need a more robust design with something less than 42 teeth.
