Review on 🚴 SRAM PowerGlide II PG 850: Unmatched Performance for Superior Cycling by Evan Austin

Working on an old bike is fun and you get just the right part for the job. This SRAM cassette is one of those big moments. I have a Salsa La Cruz for which I bought a pair of Bontrage Race Lite wheels at the Santa Cruz flea market for a very reasonable price. However, the rear wheel came without a cassette. The La Cruz was tuned to a Shimano 8-speed system, as was the Bontrager wheel. When I looked for a cassette I found that most were 9 or 10 speed. After much thought and guesswork, I ordered the SRAM 8 speed. It only took three minutes to install, ZERO time to adjust index switching and I find the switching is smoother than the old setup. ADVANTAGES: - Easy installation - No adjustment required - Feels like switching is easier - Very affordable price. :- It took me some time to figure out which cassette to buy. I would have preferred black to the shiny chrome. Didn't exactly match my previous transmission. I like it!
