    Morning all, Has anyone tried the e13 cassette??? Can you contact these guys direct?

    Currently running XX1 and XTR +42t and the XX1 is ok, but the XTR is very peddly on the flats/downs.

    9-44 with a 30 or 32 ring sounds as near to perfect as you can currently get.

    Any experiences from you good folk?

    Is the e13 cassette even available yet? If it’s the one announced at the last bike show then I think it’s not due until Jan?

    Given Hope’s record on cassettes, don’t plan on buying one til it’s in the shops!

    Having your lowest, winching gear made of Aluminum is one thing – but having alu gears lower down the block is a disaster. Power just ruins alu cassette teeth too fast. I wouldn’t have either.

    Unless I’m misinterpreting the write up, the bottom of the cassette ie 9-16/7 is a 1 piece steel unit.

    Yep, but 4 or so at the top are alu.
