Thinking about getting this cassette, however how is the reliability, it only appears to have splines at either end, so one would assume reduced spreading of the load on the cassette body splines thus more load on those splines doing the securing, am sure its fine but just looking at the design and thinking it over.

    It's probably a not an issue as on a normal cassette, apart from the top few cogs which might be on a spider; each of the cogs is only engaged on the freehub by it's own single set of splines; whereas on the powerdome every cog has 2 sets of splines driving the freehub.

    I have recently bought an XG1190, it is a nice bit of kit.

    looking at this one, are their two, powerdome and X dome ? what's the difference, could do with knowing the teeth number cogs on the 11-26
