Shimano equivilent to SRAM PG990 cassette?

Plyphon · December 2012

Hiya,

Looking to make my bike fully Shimano rather than a mix of both.

What is roughly the Shimano opposite to this cassette?

Would I be looking at this below:

Yes.

No point in changing for no reason though

+1, and if you change your cassette, you may most likely have to change the chain again too.

Thanks.

A few of the teeth and looking worse for wear, so figure I might as well switch to Shimano when I do change it.

but the pg990 comes in cool colours!! :-D

Plyphon · December 2012

while this is a valid point I don't like any colours but black

Both are £40 at the mo on crc, iirc the XT has little pips on the back of 1st gear cog to prevent the chain dropping down the inside too,
For me the colour wins though! ;-)

I'm pretty sure you missed a few bolts though

allthegearnoidea · December 2012

4 in total on the bike that Haven't been changed! ;-) saddle rail bolts, top cap and one stem bolt! But that's as the other 5 on the stem have been changed! :-D

That one stem bolt must be feeling lonely!!

Those American Classic wheels are gorgeous too .... I want!

(i'd feel bad for the thread hijack but i'm pretty sure the OP got his answer!)

allthegearnoidea · December 2012

Haha! Well if I changed it then I'd have 2 the same colour on the stem! :shock: :-D
I can seriously recomend the Am classics, they have a 240lb rider limit and come in under 1500g! They've been om coming up for 3 years now and not had a Single issue with them, still True, and I'm a Heavy rider at 100kg pre kit! Super fast rolling Too!

Yes OP, appologies for the hijack! ;-)
