Review on 🚵 High-Performance Shimano HG400 9-Speed Mountain Bike Cassette - CS-HG400-9 (11-34) [Misc.] by Dang Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

11-34T, 377g Cycling

It's hard to find the weight of the different versions of the hg400 cassette. I had 11-28 on my commuter bike. When I converted it to a gravel bike, I needed a bigger gearing to handle 18% loose gravel. For some reason it was in my head that the hg400 weighs 298 in the 11-34t version. This is very wrong and very difficult if not impossible to find online. According to various websites, 11-25t weighs 225g. Had I known, I might have jumped to a 310g SRAM equivalent. Yes, that's only 60 grams, but that's an addition to a chunky bike I'm trying to get to 13kg. The increase of 130 g (28-tooth to 34-tooth cassette) is anything but ideal, but the gear range is impressive.
