Review on ethirteen by The Hive TRS Plus Cassette - 12 Speed, 9-50t, Black, XD Driver Body by Kholar Irvine

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well but very sensitive to alignment.

I find this to be REALLY sensitive to tuning, especially suspension alignment. If you find it doesn't move well, carefully check the suspension alignment. However, when properly adjusted, it moves almost as well as the x01/xx1 cassette under normal loads. Not so with heavy loads. It's louder than SRAM even when using a SRAM chain. I don't really like the way it attaches to the drive case, but it doesn't bother. Saves $100 compared to x01 but weighs 40g more (50t). The GX cassette is slightly cheaper but weighs 50g more. I run this with xx1 circuit and x01 switch. I've ridden a lot of miles on their 11 speed TRS racing cassettes and this one seems to hold up as well.

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
