So, £100 quid for a cassette and only 191g. Surely shows how overpriced Sram xx cassette’s are?.

Anyway, am i right in saying it wont fit onto a standard sram/shimano 10spd freehub body?

If not, when will someone make my 9-36 or 10-38 10spd cassette so i dont have to splash out on xx1?

When will your standard freehub body magically shrink so a smaller cog than 11t physically fits? 😉

Cassette made by Recon – well known in the weight weenie world for being a bit shit

Sit an xx1 cassette and a recon side by side and you will see where the money is spent

Just fit one of those new-fangled 42t cogs onto a standard XT cassette.

Yes, Recon make probably the worst cassettes in the world, ever.
Poor shifting, snapped teeth and bent sprockets – take yet pick .

I had the misfortune of buying one a few years ago and it lasting 60 odd miles before bending.

You must have found the ultimate, cheap, light & strong

Aye, was tempted til I read up on recon casettes. Canfield Hub is a bit chubby too but suspect that might in part be the capreo esque freehub. Tempting tho and good to see manufacturers having a go. Presumably a few of them have worked out that Shimano will take their time to get their take on this right…. Oh and also wait for when the next xtr release is due too.

Sums up everything you need to know 😀

Does seem daft, ultra light alu cassette and a porky hub.
