I need a new cassette for a build and I'm considering the above listed.

Miche are amazingly cheap and look decent.
BBB are a bit more expensive and look decent
Campag (Centaur) are quite a bit more expensive and look lovely. Or Veloce, a bit cheaper, but still more than BBB/Miche.

Anyone got experience of the first two? Weight, shifting quality, durability etc. Am I being a tight git and should I just buy the Campag?

Ta!

    Miche are amazingly cheap and look decent, and the two I owned both broke off multiple teeth. Not had that happen with 5, 6 or more campy cassettes....

    Wasn't impressed with my Miche cassette. Replaced with Record and shifting improved massively.

    i needed a new cassette for my training bike, im ummed and arrrhed about the centaur or miche finally went with the miche and very glad i did. the gear changes were alot smoother, quicker and precise thean the old centaur one (had only done about 1000miles, so still in great condition). Although the new KMC sl chain may have helped too!!!! whereas the old system was centaur chain and cassette.
