Please let me know any questions you have on this item or configurations.... They do make it for 10 speed and 11 speed bikes as well...... I was very happy with this cassette and the options they give to riders who are looking for a specific gearing. Shifting quality in the stand and adjustment was very very simple. I am looking forward to installing this on my dream build bike and revealing this project to you al very soon :)))

I don't trusts this type of cassettes, shifting goes amazing in the stand but as soon as you go out and put some force in the AL cogs between 8 and 11 (the big ones) everything goes south, sometimes the chain starts to jump between cogs (without shifting) and because the big cogs are made from aluminium alloy some teeths start to bend with enough time. Take in consideration that i say this from previous experiences (different manufacturers, same design construction and idea), but idk, maybe this company found the holy grail of aluminium cassettes

Even though the Presta cassette might distribute the load across the whole of the cassette, it still seems as if the brunt of would be taken at the contact points on the freehub body and so instead of gouging in certain rings you'll just have it on the ends instead. Let us know how that works as you use it for a while. I'm interested to see if that is any better or worse. Nice concept and it looks super light.

As per other comments below - a cassette with two points of engagement will not disperse force across the freehub - it will just concentrate the force at the two points of engagement. However, where a monobloc cassette has a potential advantage is that it is more torsionally stiff so there is less potential for gouging from individual cogs twisting under load and eating into the freehub. That problem is worse with cheaper cassettes which tend to be less accurately machined and can result in individual cogs both twisting and moving back and forth on and off load on the freehub.

Just spent the day trying to dial my 12sp on the r9200. As commenters above have stated, I had the same experience with shifting. If you’re a recreational rider, sure it shifts fine. If you’re racing, not so much. It gets close to it, but not quite. Shifts better than an eThirteen I had once that was marketed as being GRX compatible but as others stated, it lags in either the top few or bottom few gears depending on which one is dialed in. On top of that, the bottom few cogs may be the culprit as in order to get them dialed, one of the teeth lacks a slant that HG cassettes have and it ever so slightly catches on the bigger cog causing a click repeating every turn. It never quite skips in the stand but there are too many wrecks in races due to gears skipping and I don’t plan on being the one in order to save 49 grams.

Have two of them , was the only solution to a worn freehub body . Once freehub body is worn on one cog they are by default out of mesh with the cogs one speed up or down . Fantastically light and amazing manufacturing. There was only one issue , they are unfortunately very loud on the bike , not sure if it is because it’s a cone and resembles a speaker ? Not sure but they are noticeably much louder than a DA , so if peaceful bike rides are your aim , these might not be for you . If you don’t care about sound , these are tight,solid, and fast , might even give better power transfer as the freehub body is not so torqued out on force offset from center ?

Nice Video, the fact about the better options for the gear ratio and the weight saving is true, even a dura ace cassette seems heavy. Tried the same one from E Dubbied but in the end it is everytime the Recon cassette, just other name depends on the country you buy it. My expierence was that the shifting against dura ace RD and Cassette is noticable much worse. In the bike stand was it fine like in your video but outside on the road the shifting not perfect in comparision to Shimano. In end the 60 gramms over the Dura Ace was not worth it and tried to set it better up but no chance. Maybe i was just unlucky or not talented enought dont know. Would like to hear the feedback for riding the cassette outdoor. In the end i stick with drivetrain components from Shimano, for me it is the best and a few gramms less are not worth it giving up shifting quality.

i chewed up 25k out of my casette and chain, then i got a new chain and 11 to 15 chain was skipping, i ended up getting a new cassette too, and only used waxing with paraffin. now new chain and cassette also running on the same formula, im trying to get some teflon powder but its hard in cuba
@eagerbob8 ай бұрын
you don't need teflon powder, the difference is marginal. What you should do is buy three chains, degrease and wax them. Then rotate the chains every 250-400 km, depending on the weather and use. Rewax all three chains when thee third one starts squeaking. You will see that both your chain and cassette will last longer.

This only seems to have 2 contact discs between the cassette & free hub. Also there seem to be half the usual groove ingagers on each disc, so would presume the ware is going to be quite high at the contact points
@GCPerformance188 ай бұрын
no because theya re at the extreme ends of the cassette and the cassette body itself provides a lot of structurem you are not riding in those two gears alot
@mikelacross8 ай бұрын
Hopefully you'll do another vid after a few 1000kms, but I think those 2 contact points for every gear you ride in MUST have a lot of ware. Will be happy to be proven wrong though 😁
@joystation18 ай бұрын
I don't accept that a cassette that drives through only two points of contact will leave less bite marks on the freehub splines than a cassette with 10, 11 or 12 cogs will. The cogs on a normal cassette only drive into the freehub splines when that particular cog is selected (except cogs 1,2 & 3 which are mounted on the same but 3x thicker spider), with a one piece cassette, every cog transmits pedalling force to the freehub splines, whichever cog is selected, the one piece cassette is in permanent contact with the freehub via 2 points on contact. I don't grease freehub splines, grease only attracts dirt which turns the grease into a grinding paste. Both cassettes shifted good but in the workstand non-load bearing test I think the Shimano was fractionally crisper. My 2 cents worth.
@Raytrac3d8 ай бұрын
I have a similar cassette from a different brand and those two contact points are much wider than individual cogs, meaning that the the force is distributed across wider area significantly reducing the pressure on the freehub body which completely eliminates bite marks (at ~2.5k kilometers in my case at least).

any visibly noticeable difference between cog shift ramp design/milling when comparing to Dura Ace cassettes or more specifically, if you have one of their 11 speed 11-40 cassettes; do cog shift ramps appear equal to XT and/or XTR cassette shift ramp designs?
@squareyesj71704 ай бұрын
I really wished you started with the price. $240 is way too much, especially for a risky option. The whole point of not buying from Sram or Shimano is because of their outrageous prices. They have been screwing cyclists for years so affordable alternatives are much needed. This cassette is not an option. Thanks for your efforts, I now know that there is another cycling component company to avoid, mainly due to the pricing.
