Hi all,

Upgrading from 9 speed to 10 speed and want a one piece cassette to save my alloy hope free hub body. Have been using a SRAM X9 with 9 speed after finding my deore cassette making groves in the free hub body. Looking midrange, nothing to break the bank, anyone know which if any are available as one piece?

Thanks

    None.....you couldn't then fit an 11T over the spider and XX costs an arm and a leg, but the highest gears are not an issue as they tend to be the width of sprocket plus space giving a wide footprint.

    Best you'll get with Shimano SLX where no gear acts just across it's own width....

    Nothing cheap as a one piece, but with a spider look at slx or xt

    XT has 7th and 8th gears with no extra width at the base (same for XTR), hence why I suggested SLX.

    Thanks for the replys. Looking on one online retailer the picture of the SRAM PG1030 looks like it may be a one piece cassette.

    There is no such thing as a one piece cassette. Stop looking.

    The closest is the XX XG1090 (or XG999), which still has the 11t as a loose sprocket. It's almost certainly more expensive than your hub.

    People worry too much about this - I use a cheap cassette on an alu freehub on my PowerTap hub, yes it digs in a bit, but it's hardly catastrophic. They're still riveted together, so you don't get that much independent movement between sprockets.
