Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Diy e-bike conversion. Heavy for a race bike but good for everything else. Swapped out the hg200 from a new raleigh ebike for a little slower peddling in high gear. For more information on this product, visit www.

Good working cassette. I believe it is compatible. Works fine.

Fits on the 8-11 spd shimano hubs perfectly so no need to use a spacer with a 7 spd cassette. Just the right fit with no issues shifting. Fit the trex.

To the reviewer, and anyone else that would like to know, microshift makes a 36 tooth cassette and up to a 42.

Using a chain whip, pipe wrench, large channel locks, etc. Insert small needle nose pliers into the hub. Rotate the pliers counter clockwise.

Not to mention how smooth the shifting is now and all of this for a great price .

Got these for my giant revel and work better then the old pair i had on there that cost twice as much

Shipping

Anyways it arrived today and 15 minutes after it was delivered i had installed it and put the new chain back and all slippage w... Read More

Packaging/appearance

The part was packaged with care and was installed easily.

I thought i got a 7 speed 13t-34t but it turns out they package the 11t separate.

Competitiveness

I have used sram and shimano on my 2019 trek marlin 6 and i like the shimano generally more.
