• use SRAM cassettes instead of Shimano, they have much more linear ratio gaps

    I've just bought a couple of SRAM cassettes (fucking SRAM!) because (I think) they are all steel, whereas the Shimano cassettes have the two lowest gears in aluminium which wear out before the rest of the cassette.

    If anyone knows where to get the lowest three cogs on a Shimano MTB cassette as a spare part, I'm all ears.

  • The cheaper Shimano (Deore)cassettes are all-steel and the intermediate ( SLX) have just the largest in aluminium

  • So I've just ordered SRAM for no reason? Bugger.

    UNCLEAN!

    All steel: Shimano Deore CS-M6100 Cassette 12-speed - 10-51 Teeth
    1 alu sprocket: Shimano SLX CS-M7100 Cassette 12-speed
