Looking for 10-30 XDR cassette

[Yappie28]

Hi

does anybody have a recommendation for an 10-30 XDR cassette? Preferably 11 speed. I know there are 12s 10-28 and 10-33 out there but I couldnt find an 10-30.

Thanks in advance.

(Im running a Wheeltop EDS Tx group with Rotor Chainrings so it s basically compatible with every cassette).

Also interested in this topic. I am also looking for a 11 speed cassette to use with my XDR freehub. the best thing I've personally found so far is this XD 10-36 cassette (so you would also need a spacer for the XDR body).

Since we are wishing for things.... I'd love to find a 9-36 XDR cassette.

I have the ZTTO 10-33 in my AliExpress basket

Looks like I’m going to Guinea Pig for everyone

They have a bunch of quality XD ZTTO 1x 9-46/50t cassettes in 11 speed configuration. The only one in road sizes is the 11 speed Spedao 10-36t, though it has the advantage of having a steel big cog and being around 280g.

I'm currently using an XDR 12 speed 10-33t cassette. It's in the low 200g range, but at the expense of an alloy 33t big cog. It works fine, but I'm using a KMC X12 chain, not sure how it plays with SRAM flat top chains.

Is shifting still good with the XDR cassette? Is it this newer type, where the teeth on the largest cog are regular metal colour, rather than all black (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008884884374.html)?

I'm tempted to experiment with a 10-33 cassette and 48/33 chainrings (with L-Twoo eR9).

The only reason I tried the XDR cassette was for fast group rides. I just wanted a little extra if I needed more top end beyond an 11t cog and I didn't feel like swapping out my chainrings.

Yes it's the new one with the metallic big cog. I don't think there's much difference with the all-black version other than the color. Using the ER9, shifting with the XDR cassette is fine as long as you index everything properly. As I mentioned, I'm using the 12 speed KMC X12 which seems to work well with third party cassettes. I also think SRAM 12 speed Eagle chains will work fine, though I only use those on my 1x XD cassettes.

I do wonder why they couldn't just make the XDR cassette all-steel? Alloy big cogs wear faster and don't look as nice when the teeth loose paint. The new ultra-light all-steel HG cassettes are now in the sub 200g range while using the same mono-block design.
