New cassette recommendation

mamba80

to littledove, my gf uses a 11 34 with a compact chainset, she has had an SLX 11-34 and a XT 11-34, there is no difference in shifting but there isn't much in it price wise either, out of the box, the xt looks nicer and is abit lighter
As you ve new wheels, I would get a new xt HG93 chain and a new XT cassette in the ratios you kno and trust and take no notice of anything else you read here !

Great info. That's what I needed. Thanks.

The OP is beyond help, he wants MTB gears on a road bike and owns not one but two hybrids.
As Monty Python would say - "stone him".

SLX 11-34 is all you need. XT is more expensive for a small weight advantage.
