Tick! Interested in this as well - particularly in regards to its performance vs SRAM!

I keep looking at them, £200 for the cassette and freehub and then £150 for the cassette after that. So light and the 10-44 range is perfect.

Worried about all the aluminium sprockets and it just seems wrong to spend over £70 on a cassette.

I usually love Hope stuff, but don't like the idea of half a cassette made from aluminium... SRAM GX 10-42 is just about perfect for me.

FML!! Aluminium; that's the stuff they make kitchen foil out of FFS. It has no place on a bike.

But you know what they say; a fool and their money are easily parted.....

Seems like a bargain to me, eagle is £350

That's over 50% cheaper 😉

Also as an amusing side note when I just googled to check how much the eagle cassete is some web sites offer it on finance it's so expensive 😆

But I wouldn't buy Eagle either 🙂
I've always used xt or the SRAM equivalent and if I want to save weight I don't have the bag of chips on the way home.

The average human loses 2lbs in weight (mass for you pedants) just by defecating, now that's value for money no parts manufacturer will ever be able to match.

Picolax for those race days to eek every gram
