Ride the Rockies Summary:
This is a nice cassette, although I think the chrome plating cheapens the look compared to the "machined" look of the Dura ace. Regardless, it shifts smoothly and is farily light. I have used the 12-25 in the past and changed to the 12-27 a while ago as the larger gear really helps on long(14mile) climbs.
The SRAM is equally well as I use their chains (gold link) exclusively. They shift and run smoother with Shimano casettes than the Shimano chains, in my opinion Strengths:
Fairly light weight
Solid reputation
Smooth shifting

In the SUN. Bike Setup:
Ulterga derialers w/ SRAM PG 970 11-23 Cassette. 53/39 Crank. Summary:
Not bad cassette, light shifts well. Came with the bike. Strengths:
Good solid light weight cassette.
Like 3 pounds lighter than a 105 cassette, and it seems to shift faster. Weaknesses:
Cost, I wouldn't pay for one when you can get a SRAM for good bit less. Similar Products Used:
Sram PG 970
Shimano 105

at performance bike Favorite Ride:
warm & windless Bike Setup:
Giant TCR1, full ultegra including r600 pedals, Kysirium SL's with Michelin Pro Race tires. Summary:
It just works GREAT! Has a high gloss (if you keep it clean!) chromed finish instead of the nickel finish of the D/A cassette. Shifts smoothly and is long lasting. Most bikes come with a 12-25 cassette. I strongly urge you to try an 11-23 cassette. The 53x11 combo = 4.82 gear ratio ( 53x12 = 4.42 ratio). This 53x11 combo can generate some incredible speed on the flats,descents or tailwind situations. You don't give up much when it is time to climb. 39x23 = 1.70 ratio VS. 39x25 = 1.56 ratio. As far as the $'s are concerned, I would rather have 2 ultegra cassettes (either different gear combos for different rides or just a new cluster when the old one starts to skip) than 1 D/A cassette. Strengths:
awesome performance & looks for small $'s spent. The asymetric lug pattern on the inside of the gear rings makes the installation onto the free hub idiot proof. Weaknesses:
none Similar Products Used:
Shimano hyperglide

at John Adams Favorite Ride:
Any open road Bike Setup:
Litespeed, Summary:
Shimano Ultegra (12-27) 9 speed.
Because I climb like a rock the 12-27 gives me a little added spin RPM enabling me to keep up. Don’t tell my riding buddies. They think I’m spinning a 12-23. Strengths:
Great combination. I have the 12 gear when I’m descending and the granny 27 for really steep climbs although I usually climb in the 24 gear. Weaknesses:
None Similar Products Used:
12-23
