SROAD lightweight cassettes
Serge_K:
Got that in the mail this AM, to replace a steel & alu cassette. It died after 5000-8000km (2/3 flat, so probably 2/3 on the steel cogs), waxed chain. The smaller alu cogs started skipping a few rides ago. I think i used that cassette on my gravel bike last year (hence the 5000-8000km delta). I think i paid 45 eur for the steel & alu k7, and 70 eur for the new all steel one, so let's see if it lasts that much longer.
Weights are very similar.
SillyMochi:
That is one dirty scale :D
Let me know how your shifting is. Have the same cassette and one gear just doesn't want to play nice ...
Which derailleur are you using this one on? The Ltwoo?
Serge_K:
You have a point! in real life, it's really not that bad :) The jar in the corner isn't piss either, for the record, but kombucha...
using ltwoo er9 RD. i've been very happy with shifting performance / noise with the previous cassette, and i've setup 5 such groups so i'm confident if it can work well, i'll get it to work well.
I'll revert after a few rides.
Sebastian:
Very interested to hear your opinion on this combo, @Serge.
Given all the experience you got with these groupsets.
Like I said, I’m using the same combo. And while it works, I’m not impressed. If your experience is the same then maybe indeed the cassette is to blame. But my bike also doesn’t really shift better with one of those cheap Sunshine cassettes on the turbo. But I’m curious to try the LTWOO group with a Shimano cassette and see what happens.
SillyMochi:
I might throw a spare Ultegra CS-R8100 on my bike to see if that makes a difference or if my general setup is to blame.
