Anyone here been using the Recon 11-40 11 speed cassette, the one with the biggest two sprockets in aluminum?

I put one on my road bike to do the Fred this weekend and got 5 mins up the first steep bit if Honister before the alloy carrier gave up. I was in the 40 at the time and seated so not really giving it full bolleaux. Luckily I was able to carry on and complete with the other 9.

Anyone used this cassette and if so, any war stories please?

I thought it was common knowledge that recon cassettes are shit.

Ah bugger. Not that common as it hasn't reach the darkest reaches of East Angrier...

So I bought it, instantly broke it and now the seller is playing silly buggers about a refund. That may have been an expensive ride... 🤔
