Review on ๐Ÿฆ… Sram NX Eagle 12-Speed Cassette: Unleashing Superior Performance by Mariqn Carey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Direct replacement is best in cassettes and ratchets

I've had no problems directly replacing the factory cassette on my 2019 Scott Genius. The fact that I had to replace it in the first place is the reason for the 4 stars. In my opinion, the trade-off between weight loss and strength has gone too far when it comes to weight loss. When I caught a branch while pedaling on a single track trail, two prongs bent and literally snapped the metal on one, rendering it beyond repair. I decided to replace the cassette with the Eagle GX, which is more powerful, a lot more expensive and also not compatible (XD drivers!), which nobody told me. I learned about hubs in the process, so it's ok. Trying to find an XD driver for my wheels proved impossible so I upgraded the entire wheelset and switched to full carbon, converted the stock wheels to cleats and bought this replacement.
