Having become a past master of the slow.grind on big hills, I saw the light and bought this cassette.Flippantly, it allows me to be faster down the hills and fatter up them. More seriously, it has massively improved my overall cycling: by letting me spin at a comfortable cadence on the steep parts I both can keep a higher average speed on the up and don't suffer from empty legs after a buggy, effectively extending my range band inclination to cycle.This year, my lesson has been to eschew 'rule 5'. The naive expectation that suffering will make me better has been proven a fallacy in the face of a more amenable cassette and a comfier (broader) saddle.If you ever find yourself both yearning to get back on the bike and dreading doing so,

Wanted this as local short rides necessitate climbing - lots of climbing! Arrived really promptly and very easy to fit replacement for my ultegra 11-28. The extra lower gearing of 32 teeth has been very useful for my daily exercise cycles of a minimum 2000 feet of climbing in not very many miles - that’s living in the hills for you!Good value for money, not the lightest Shimano 11-32 cassette, but if you want a quick and easy replacement and are not too worried about a few hundred grammes more weight, it’s well worth it.

Good wide range cassette which can be easily dismantled to give a range of cogs for custom gearing when coupled with other Shimano cassettes. I wanted a cassette with a good range of lower gears for a sustained 30km climb but couldn't find one, so I made my own using one of these and another Shimano cassette. It doesn't shift as smoothly when you do this (the cogs are designed to be used in specific combinations after all) but it did work and was much cheaper than a new chain set which was the alternative.

I've spent a long time trying to find a suitable replacement for a 10 speed cassette for my Shimano 105 5700 as Shimano no longer produce a 105 10speed cassette. I have now done about 200 miles with this and it has proved to be the prefect fit, still a few problems with shifting, but they may be down to finer adjustments need. Overall I am very satisfied with the product and with the Supplier Tweaks. I recommend both

A good cassette from Shimano. "Does exactly what is says on the tin".Makes riding up some of those steeper hills a little easier.Changes, although smooth, are definitely more noticeable in terms of the larger step-changes, when compared to some of the cassettes with smaller changes.Word of advice for potential buyers; ensure you have a GS (Medium) cage fitted to your rear derailleur.

I haven't put as much use into this item as I probably should due to lockdown and the free time to get outside, however I've got this hooked up to my Elite Zumo and it was a breeze to install. Ride feels super smooth as you would expect, I keep it well lubed which always helps. Build feels sturdy when put together and works exactly as you would expect for a product of this pricepoint.

Very pleased with this cassette. Replaced the 12-28 cassette which came fitted to my new Giant road bike to help me get up the steep hills around where I live. It took less than 10 minutes to change over and I did not have to tweek the gear change settings afterwards.

Did the trick when I wanted to get a 32 on the back of my 105 setup for some serious mountain riding.Get advice before changing though, as not all rear mech cages can take higher than the 28 standard. This is a great cheap option to change gear ratios though!

Bought to replace a 11-25 10 gear cassette, works well, had to buy a shimano 11 speed chain and a road bike wolflink to get the chain onto the 32 and 34 gear wheel. Could have got a longer derailleur rather than wolflink, but difficult to find and expensive.

Being a little bit larger than your average cyclist, the 32 tooth sprocket has been a big plus. Both climbing in the Yorkshire Dales and Majorca, combined with a compact chainset it has kept me spinning when in the past a stop may have been required

Excellent replacement for a Sunrace equivalent, didn’t even need to adjust my shifter. Shimano instructions in the box are pretty useless but include a link where an installation guide PDF can be downloaded.

Excellent cassette. It definitely helps me get up those steep climbs. Not worried about the weight (400grams when I weighed them), so if you're not worried either don't hesitate on buying this.

Perfect product, fast delivery, considering that it came from abroad, the only flaw, I was not able to track the shipment with the tracking provided, as not working, but maybe it was a case.

Deore CS-HG500 10-speed 11-25 In connection with payment via Ideal in days the weekend a little later at home, but still a smooth delivery. Good product, not too expensive. I am satisfied!
