VG SPORTS8/9/10/11/12 Speed Ultra-Light Bike Cassette for Mountain Bike 11-40T/11-42T/11-46T/11-50T/11-52T MTB Cassette Lightweight Aluminum Bracket Cassette

I bought this inexpensive 11-46 11 speed cassette to see if I could use a 46 tooth large gear with my SRAM Rival 1 long cage. By adjusting the “b” screw, I was able to make it work but I had to add a spacer behind (between the cassette and the wheel) the cassette in order for the cassette to fit tightly and not have some slack between the gears. Once I did that, I was able to get into the 46 gear and up and down the gears. It is still a bit sloppy but that might be because I really don’t know how to fine-tune the shifting using the “h”, “l” and “b” screws and the barrel adjuster. But I am able to run from 11 to 46 and back down again, so for an inexpensive cassette, I am so far pleased. FWIW, only one ride so far, but did 20 miles and over 2,000 feet of climbing, with grades up to 15%.

Yes this is less expensive than the SRAM PG-1230 12 speed 11-50T cassette and yes it looks cooler with silver and black cogs. HOWEVER, the 2nd and 3rd spiders are too close together causing it to be difficult to shift between 7th and 8th gear. It will overshift going towards 8th (smaller cog) from 7th and hop (go past and drop back down) when going from 8th to 7th. I found my SRAM GX 12 speed chain was dragging on the 7th (larger) cog when running on the 8th (smaller) cog. The solution was to add a shim (.7mm) between the two spiders. This was also observed on a Youtube video.

If you are able to convert to a 1x or looking for upgrade in gearing, look no further. When the time came to change from a 3x to a 1x, this rear cassette did the job perfectly. The gearing helped make up for most of the loss of removing two front gears. There will be slight losses of some of the gearing, but that can be made up with proper training and technique.The indexing of the gears was better than expected at this price point. It seemed like there would be an issue with getting the gears dialed in, but that was not a problem at all.The color of this cassette has nothing to do with the performance, but it sure adds some style to the bike.

I bought this to replace a trashed XT cassette....1) it's half the price. 20it comes in groovy colors. 3)Lots of products are made in the same factory as name brands, but sold under the "generic" name for less money, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm a larger human that rides my bikes hard...lots of popping, jumping, tossing the bike around...my chains will generally last 1-5 months before it snaps. Teeth on chain rings get broken, and small cogs on cassettes tend to wear out. The XT smallest cog was spinning freely til I did a garage "fix" then the derailleur snapped and the cassette and a couple things got torn up. When i got this cassette my first look and it looks very similar to the XT.I"ve ridden it maybe 30 miles so far...some town riding(includes heavy torque and jumping over things, and a good trail ride). So far..shifting is good...no slips..nothing broken. If this gives me 6 months of my riding then I'll be very happy and buy another!

It did not shift well. No amount of adjustment fixed it. Replaced with a Sunrace and all shifting problems vanished.

I bought the 12 speed 11-52 cassette for my ‘19 Bronson and I must say it shifts as well as the SRAM one it replaced. Good, clean shifting & seems reliable after two months of use. Also put on a new chain…

Love the way it looks, it’s not shifting as good as a PG1230, it was also cheaper tho so we will see how it works in.

Been riding this cassette for 200 miles on my 1500 watt electric bike and it shifts amazing! Keep it up VG Sports!I got the 12 speed cog, no better quality on the market! Paired with a KMC 12 speed gold chain. So crisp! Shifts so fast my gear change sensor doesn't engage! So I use my brake sensor like a clutch... baller cassette!

I used it to replace my old 9x3 speed shimano to 12x1. The color is really nice, will update you after using it if the color will fade fast and the teeth will deform. Overall, it's really good for the price, really easy to install!

Envío rápido, y realmente sorprendida con la calidad del producto. Por precio me parece una muy buena opción de compra.Encaja perfectamente y se fija bien, de fácil y muy rápida instalación.Después de probarlo en el rodillo fijo de la bici puedo decir que es recomendable 100%.

El último plato rodaba con los rayos de la llanta por lo que era imposible acceder a el con la cadena, tiene muy mal planeado el diseño.Pd: Se ve increíble, me dieron ganas de modificarlo para lograr que entrara correctamente.
