Got one of this cassettes last month. Price fluctuates a lot.

Currently £168.68 which is the cheapest I've ever seen it.

Happy with this cassette - had a few on several bikes. Looking at 2000-3000 miles with chain swapping at 750 miles or so.

Would prefer the non-black xx1 but it never seems cheap.

Make sure you refresh - keeps swapping between £168.68 and £174. Bonkers.

A world where £170 is seen as a bargain for a cassette is one screwed up world.

For God's sake I could find a few better examples of a screwed up world couldn't you?

I didn't say it was a bargain.

If you want to have a debate about the issues of *capitalism there are plenty of threads.

*Some of the issues related to capitalism are consumers expecting things to be too cheap and driving quality and labour costs down which I would argue screws the world up more.

It's not an identical product is it?

It's 11-42, shifts beautifully and I didn't need to buy new freehubs for my Hope hubs. It's a win for me.

Heavier (by a decent amount), less range and from what I've seen less durable and still bad for alu freehub. I don't worry about replacing my gx cassette as it's lasted so long.
