Review by AnonymousWESTERNBIKEWORKS came through for me when I needed them most.by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastDurham, North Carolina0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I recently purchased a Wahoo smart trainer from my LBS(local bike shop) and it didn't come with a cassette. My LBS told me the Shamino cassette I wanted was on back order and unavailable. Because of a medical condition I wanted to use my smart trainer right away. I checked with WESTERNBIKEWORKS and they had the cassette in stock that I was looking for and delivered it to me within a few days. I am grateful to have WESTERNBIKEWORKS as a supplier for my cycling needs.

Review by AnonymousGreat Quality Product Good Valueby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastYou get what you pay for as they say. I knew this wasn't the top performer and happy becuase the price was right. The cassette performs as expected and value per gram is this probably a very good choice unless you want to shell out for DuraAce.
You won't go wrong with this as a work horse or training cassette.

Review by AaronCan you go wrong with 105?by AaronCycling EnthusiastLincoln, NoPlaceLikeNebraska4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Such a dependable groupset. Happy to have this cassette 11-30 available to give me a little more gearing in the mountains. That's as big as I could go with with the short cage derailleur.

Review by AnonymousWhat's not to like?by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastAlbuquerque, NMInstalled this on my best race bike for Winter/Spring training and to see if my older Dura Ace Di2 rear derailleur could handle the 30t cog in the 11-30 configuration with a 52 x 36 chainring setup. It does reasonably well, and I will likely race this configuration in the late Spring but with a DA cassette. But Shimano HG is Shimano HG regardless of level. 105 is much, much more affordable and quality is every bit as good as Ultegra and DA. Just heavier.

Review by AnonymousBest budget cassetteby AnonymousCompetitive RacerPortland, ORNo need to get another brand or more expensive model when you are gravel riding. This cassette is not that much heavier than the higher end models and is quiet. Shifting is smooth. Pricing just makes this the best option!

Review by AnonymousGreat cassette - what you would expect from Shimanoby AnonymousCompetitive RacerNorth Texas1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I bought this to replace an Ultegra cassette that was worn out and giving me shifting problems. Works great, it's a cassette. Although slightly heavier than Ultegra, the lower price was worth it to me. From a practical standpoint, a few grams do not matter. I would rather save the money on the cassette and apply it to a better chain.

Review by AndrewAlways a winnerby AndrewCompetitive RacerChicago USAGot this cassette to replace the 105 version that came with my gravel bike a couple of years ago. Ultegra really is a great value given the weight, shifting quality and price.

Review by SMASH MIKEDoes great for what it is designed to do..by SMASH MIKECompetitive RacerKY2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Lets face it, the 105 7000 series is above par of the later generation Ultegra items at a reduced cost. Not drilling down into the weeds on weight, but if you are looking for a products to last 10K miles and not a weight weenie than this little guy is for you. I am running this on my SMART TRAINER while the two bikes that get set on it are DA with one being DI (guess I am a weight weenie). That being said both my high end TT bike and road bike components fit fabulously on this cassette for my direct drive smart trainer. I plan on ordering another cassette for my TT training wheelset and know I will not be disappointed.

Review by HockinatorI really like the 11-30 gear rangeby HockinatorCompetitive RacerKirkland, WA7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Shimano 105 range components are always a great value. This cassette works just as smoothly as the Ultegra cassette it replaced. I really like the 11-30 gear range. It is much more comfortable when climbing the 15% grade I have to go up to get home from every ride.
