size like as 12-26? and what not?what size cassette you looking for?
ive been happy when i moved to a Sram PG970 12-26 cassette. its 220grams and is relatively light, especially compared to my old 11-34 PG970 that weighs 400+ grams.
um yeahsize like as 12-26? and what not?
Not too concerned about how many
An XT isnt much heavier than a 12/26 sram and you have all the great gearing for a more pedal friendly ride.size like as 12-26? and what not?

i do mostly all DH, the riding up part is me riding up my road to be stupidAn XT isnt much heavier than a 12/26 sram and you have all the great gearing for a more pedal friendly ride.
XT is 290 or so grams and the XTR is 260 grams.
a 12/26 means the smallest cog is 12 teeth and the largest is 26 a 11/34 means the smallest is 11 teeth and the 34 is 34teeth on the largest cog.
an 11/34 will have a couple more cogs to allow better shifting up, a 11 tooth is pretty damn fast and a 34 makes going up hill alot easier. So if you do any freeride or uphill jonts big or small the 11/34 is a great set up...
ill take a look at it tomorrow.9spd Dura Ace off Chain Reaction? I'm running a 12-23t.
Based on your last 2 posts you must have chainreaction on speedemail!9spd Dura Ace off Chain Reaction? I'm running a 12-23t.
X2I've had better luck w/ Shimano cassettes than Sram in the shifting department. .
When it takes your LBS 2 months to help you order parts at a higher price and CRC 2 weeks to get you your parts...Based on your last 2 posts you must have chainreaction on speedemail!
I dont blame ya!!!!When it takes your LBS 2 months to help you order parts at a higher price and CRC 2 weeks to get you your parts...
I've had the Ultegra 12-27 in the past and have a SLX 11-28 currently. The SLX is awesome. Perfect spread IMO.I've had better luck w/ Shimano cassettes than Sram in the shifting department. I would look at either an Ultegra/Dura-ace cassette if you like having a closer spread, or the new Saint 11-28 cassette if you're like me where you want a pretty big spread most of the time without having to double-shift to get noticeable changes between gears.
why get off your bike when you can ride up? some of us arent lazy and prefer to ride our bikes up AND down the hills, not matter what bike the large cassette is on.Just don't get how many peeps rec 11/34 or 32s on a DH bike, makes no sense to me, gotta climb get of an walk up, DH is about the downs even on the flats we haul. I never feel like I'm to low geared.

ive been using 11-34 cassettes on my DH bikes for 11 years.
your comments never seem to make sense. i really hope Engrish is your second or third languageBut it does mess ya ratio's that's not in doubt ride a closer ratio with less gears with appropriate crank length and you will see the difference
Also you can create a less dished wheel due to not having to spoke the drive side to clear the bigger rings you can go lighter in the rim and build a stronger wheel.
less chain wear less cluster wear,
I don;t know what hills you can ride up if its a a good track for a DH bike but even if ya can, I bet I cover a **** load of terrain plus I build usually on ride days, Lazy I'm not, I'm about full optimistation.
Dh is called downhill for a reason Hello
and 100+ grams heavier than any other similarly sized cassette out there...even the non DH PG970 is lighter.sram 970 dh for sure. Just put it on my rig. Spectacular. highly recommend them
Classic since you can;t read the next best thing is too attack my writing English skills!your comments never seem to make sense. i really hope Engrish is your second or third language
i have ridden both a road cassette and large mountain cassette on my bikes and have no problem with either of them. what does crank length have to do with what size cassette you are running??
and dishing a wheel has nothing to do with the cassette. ive ran both cassettes on my DH bike with zero issue. lighter rim=stronger wheel?? why cant you use a light rim w/ a mountain cassette?
how is there less chain wear? or "cluster wear"
i also never said i ride up the "tracks," i said i ride up and down hills.
and youre right a DH bike ONLY can be ridden on a "track" hello
