12 tooth cassette ring worn out...

joshtp

took the new build out today... all is running super, super sweetly... but the new chain in jumping on the older cassette's second smallest (12 tooth) cog... it's not too bad... but being my fave stand up and sprint gear (prob why it's the most worn) it's a bit of a pain.... I'd rather not pay out for a whole new cassette... I just splashed a huge wedge of seriously limited earnings on the rest of the bike... so will this fit?

and what are the downsides to this as opposed to a whole new cassette?


cheers

alternatively I could get myself a cheapo cassette like this one:


I'd rather not as my bike is heavy enough without adding a pile of rotating weight.... and I prefer Shimano cassette's....


but is it still a better option... one bonus is that I could get the 11-34 which would work better with my single front ring..

joshtp

dont worry, decided to get the whole cassette... think the 34 might just make it worth the weight...
