Glad Sram still makes these!Retro Grouch hereAt age 60 I am not going to upgrade beyond 10 speed "corncobs"A 10s rear cluster still gives me close range gearing without gaps and a 10s chain is stronger, more reliable, and lasts longer than narrower 11s, 12s, and gasp, 13s chains

I absolutely love the machining of Sram cassettes, starting from their mid priced models all the way to the top. As long as the drivetrain is maintained on a regular basis you can expect them to last. The shifting is crisp and precise particularly when spec'ed with Sram derailleurs which are 1:1 actuation. I have quite a few of this model with some as old as 10 years ago and others as recent as last year since I still use 2x10 systems on some of my bikes. You can even convert it a 1x10 system by using a 42T gear extender and a narrow wide chainring. You to have to have at least a medium cage rear derailleur and a longer B screw/bolt to compensate for the bigger gear. Overall, I would recommend it to someone whose one a budget but doesn't want to compromise quality ... MoreI absolutely love the machining of Sram cassettes, starting from their mid priced models all the way to the top.

I am riding an Orbea Avant M50 Disc. My area is pretty hilly and with a 11x28 I was just making it up some hills. There are steeper and longer ones I didn't dare go up. My Garmin is telling me the ones I that I was just making up are about an 8-10 % grade. Now that I have the spare gear it's way easier to pedal up and I rarely use it but it's a comfort to have. The shifting is a lot smoother than the Shimano 11x28 Dura-Ace 7900 Cassette that it replaced. A slight difference but noticeable. It didn't come with any shims/spacer so I just reused one from the Shimano set.PROS: Easy To Install, Enhances Pedaling Efficiency, Precise Shifting

If you are like most regular cyclists, your arent the fastest in the world and hills are your kryptonite. When on a flat will you ever spin 53/11, heck 50/11? Never. Get rid of the 11, and take the 36 for the hills. This 12-36 cassette is nice because you keep shifting tighter while getting more climbing. Ive owned this cassette for a year and its really helpful. Just knowing you have another gear on hills, even if not using it, is nice. This one was purchased for my wifes bike so she could experience what I have. Freedom to ride and not worry (as much) about hills.
Definitely better than the worn cassette it replaced. Power transfer noticeably improved from that! ?? Very shiny, shifts smoothly and relatively quiet too. The future looks bright in the long term…
Even though this is tagged as an MTB cassette, I picked this up so I could expand my gear ratio for my 10-speed road bike. If you have recently switched to shorter road cranks (or plan to), what you may not know is that you'll need easier gears than you may be used to riding, especially as the grade gets steeper (you lose leverage exponentially with shorter cranks). Of course you can swap out chainrings, but you might find, like me, you have to do both, depending on the hills/mountains in your area. For me, this has been a great solution.
This cassette is ideal. With this setup I flow to work place, I complete daily tasks much easier, for Sundays fun, charity events, even with full load to bike-camp or for the occasional mid distance bunch of friends routes. First, these 12-13-15-17 cogs for lucky-flats speed up, then my short comfort zone with the 19 - 22 - 25, the help 28-32 to hill up streets to highlands or difficult out-city zones, and the friendly 36 cog, for the "just in case" siuations. Of course, it is great for the faster bikes such as the slow speed ones. Now I commute with full hand options.
I understand that at times a product is returned and then repackaged and reshipped as new. However, it is unacceptable and extremely poor customer service to not take care when doing so. I ordered a new SRAM PG-1070 from Backcountry. What I received was a cassette that had been returned and repackaged. Normally, I would not fret over this if the product was in good shape. However, what came in the mail was the original box, poorly taped shut, with the cassette in pieces simply tossed into the box. The original clip and holder were right there uselessly rattling around with all of the other pieces. I dropped it off at the store that is re-hauling my bike, I hope it is all there in the box else this will not be the end of this story. I doubt that I will order from ... MoreI understand that at times a product is returned and then repackaged and reshipped as new.

If you're running a 10 speed drivetrain, this is a great product without a backbreaking price. Light, strong, smooth-shifting & beautiful.Another thing... it's 2018 and the industry is already moving from 11 speed to 12 speed drivetrains. I'd purchase this while you still can. History shows that as time passes, high-end drivetrain parts are usually no longer manufactured. Just try to find XTR/XX or XT/X0-level parts for 8 & 9 speed drivetrains... good luck.If you've got a 10 speed rig, I'd snap this up before it's no longer available.
the cassette was bought to replace the same cassette on a 2009 Masi CXR. The cassette was replaced because the chain also needed to be replaced and the two items work together and need to be replaced at the same time or as truly needed. To install yourself all you need is to learn some general bike maintenance and how to take it apart and put it together again. The whole job took 15-20min. and could have taken 10min. Talk with your bike tech, check out a youtube video and have three tools probably. The right cassette tool (bottom bracket), a chain whip, a torque wrench.PROS: Precise Shifting, Easy To Install, Durable, Lightweight, Enhances Pedaling EfficiencyBEST USES: Mountain Biking, Road Biking
