Can I replace a Sram cassette with a Shimano cassette (will it fit the freehub?)

and……………………..why are Sram parts so expensive??
I can virtually buy a Deore or LX rear mech for the price of 2 bloody Sram jockey wheels. WTF?? 👿

da funk

You can, to make it even cheaper check road ones.

also, sram cassettes are shizer.

Is shizer good or bad in your opinion?

Surely that's only any use if you want the closer ratios of a road cassette…

SRAM X.7 jockey wheels appear to be about £10… yes X.0 ones are expensive, and XX ones are hilariously so, but have you looked at XTR, they're not exactly cheap!

Yes ,Shimano cassettes are great.
Best £ for lb go for SLX ones at around £30.
Likely to be a good 100g or so lighter than the OE ones supplied on most bikes.
