Thinking of changing my Shimano 12-25 to 12-27. Ultegra pricey. Whilst searching for alternatives came across BBB cassettes that are compatible with Shimano at £35.00.

Anybody got any experience of how good or otherwise they are?

    I looked at the BBB cassettes last year, but the reviews were poor.

    Take a look at the SRAM 1070 (Rival) for a similar price. The 11-28 is a nice ratio.
    I'd say the Shimano shifts better, but not much in it.

    I have admit to trying the BBB cassette a number of years ago. While it worked ok, it did not shift as cleanly as a Shimano one did.

    Rode it for a couple of hundred miles but it had to go in the end. Have always stopped with Shimano after that, so draw your own conclusion really. :roll:

    But it might just have been me being Mr Pickey, but I just don't like things rattling and generally not sounding quite right.
