or £10.79 with British Cycling membership, or £10.46 if going through topcashback also!

where?

I reckon Halfords

I’m going to use one to chain my bike to in the shed.

oops Halfords yes – in my haste

zippykona – only the 11-36 thats dead heavy

£15.99 for me, 20% off that makes £12.80. Still not bad

ahh – found the cheaper one

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_700550_langId_-1_categoryId_165540

£14.99 – 20% = £11.99

I’d get one if:
1) I hadn’t just bought a new cassette
2) it wasn’t dinner plate sized
3) it didn’t double the weight of my bike

brakes thanks for your bump and also your constructive comments

100g heavier than xt isn’t loads ffs. And TBH most will only use this on a commuter or such like so not an issue

HG50 is Alivio and it’s the same price at CRC and has been for a while.

je james and sjs suggest that hg50 is deore, maybe i am wrong.

at CRC they are £14.99 not £11.99

Shimano’s website states HG50 is Alivio click

brakes thanks for your… constructive comments

apologies, I was just surprised at the weight of them when I held one in my hand.
I’ll add a positive:
4) it makes your Hope Pro II hub sound twice as loud as XT.

That’s just the noise of it eating your alloy freehub… 😥

That’d be perfect for my ancient CX bike – doesn’t need top end kit but a cheapo 9sp cassette with a wide range on it will do the job nicely. 🙂

HG50 was originally Deore but when Alivio went to 9 speed it was chucked into that groupset.

i was just going to write that myself.
