Review on SRAM PG1130 Speed Cassette 11 28T by Alfredo Testerman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cassette for 1x11 road and gravel rebuilds

I installed this cassette on two road bikes in the 11-42t range as part of a 1x11 drivetrain rebuild. This is an outstanding cassette with a wide price range. It runs smooth with SRAM PC-X1 chain and looks nice in black (I think 11-36 and under are chrome. Only 11-42 in black currently). Both bikes are fitted with a Shimano XT M8000 rear derailleur, a Wolftooth DropStop 44t chainring and Shimano 105 STI road derailleurs (They use a Wolftooth Tanpan to change the cable pull to work with an XT rear derailleur, but I digress away). and shifting is incredibly smooth and the transmission is quiet in all gears. If I had one complaint it would be the whopping 538 gram weight, but since this part replaced the derailleur and small sprocket it was closer to the weight that a standard road gear gets from an 11-36 cassette, don't have any big meaning. Would buy again.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
