Review on Shimano 105 CS-5700 10-Speed Cassette by Steve Albright

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple 10 speed, why pay more?

I wear out a set of sprockets about every 5,000 (3 chains cost) so I don't care if I have the lightest set. They seem to last as long as the more expensive Ultegra set but I'm trying to keep the cost down so I chose them for my next upgrade. There doesn't seem to be a difference in gear shifting, coasting or weight that matters. Yes, spinning weight is important to riders, but for the rest of us, durability and cost are more important.

Pros
  • Includes lock
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
