Still using mine and no complaints. Best all-steel road cassettes on AliExpress. It doesn't shift as well as Shimano, but it still shifts very well. I'm using mine with the ER9, so performance might vary with mechanical shifters.
I wish they'd do more variations of the design though. An 11-36t and some 10t XD variations would also be nice.

I switched to my winter wheels on the weekend. Had two rides with it so far. Funny thing: my shifting got even better. It is basically flawless now. Had to re-index my gears, quite a bit actually (from -11 to -3 in the DI2 app) and slight adjustment on the FD as well. Shifts perfectly and instantly throughout the whole cassette now - up and down.
On my race wheelset I always had the second smallest cog shift a bit slow; that dreaded "ticking" for like 0.5-1 second. Nothing super bad but just not perfect. I never suspected the wheels to be the issue. Always suspected the cassette/cog had a flaw there.

I reply to my own posts because I'm sassy like that. I'm thousands of km into this cassette. A friend of mine also bought one and he's a bit of a power monster and very rough on his gear.
We're both very happy with these cassettes. I'm on er9 11s, he's on di2 11s.

I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I’ve been using it for around 6.000km now and it’s been holding up just fine. I’m also using the SROAD version in 11-32 12sp for almost 10k km. No problems. The rainbow finish hasn’t even worn off. I’m waxing my chain and stay on top of chain wear. I’m very pleasantly surprised.
The cheap steel/hybrid cassette though is really not worth it. I gave mine another chance after it skipped on one cog on my LTWOO er9 bike. I put it on my rim brake bike with Campy 12sp to see whether the different RD makes a difference as it has significantly more chain wrap. But no. The chain skips all the same. The cassette is done after maybe something like 2k km. Waste of money really.
