Review on XG 1150 Speed 10 42T Bicycle Cassette by Chris Sweeton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I definitely notice smooth shifting and a quiet drivetrain, although adding more than 120 grams to tires or rims is very noticeable (i.e. a 50-60g difference between Rocket Liteskin and Snakeskin is slightly noticeable when accelerating on the pavement), but the weight of the cassette. ..

Save your money and buy this cassette, I switched from an XX1 cassette to this on my Epic and although it hurts a bit, a "downgrade" and attaching heavier components to my bike - - The weight difference when riding is not noticeable at all. I definitely notice smooth shifting and a quiet drivetrain, although adding more than 120 grams to tires or rims is very noticeable (i.e. a 50-60g difference between Rocket Liteskin and Snakeskin is slightly noticeable when accelerating on the pavement), but the weight of the cartridge doesn't matter, save your money and get this cartridge which is cheaper and more durable than the more expensive X1/XX1 versions.

Pros
  • Parts and Components
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors
