As opposed to you regularly tagging me into random off topic posts?Wait what, how did I end in this? No point asking me. I don’t even ride!
Doesn’t everyone? Cmon, it’s fun to play ’lets annoy @moorey’As opposed to you regularly tagging me into random off topic posts?
You do ride. Just poorly.
The 9-42 Ali is 20g heavier than a GX.but I guess we can ask u how many Ali cassettes equal one gx?
U take a weight penalty for running a deore level cassette. It’s aimed at the crowd that would view a cassette as more of an expense rather than a consumable. Aka a tight arse
It’s not a wanky value purchase. Buy a deore level drivetrain and be done with it.The 9-42 Ali is 20g heavier than a GX.
You’re welcome to make wanky value judgments….but are you skimping on your own daily riders where possible to save money to support your kids racing?
Asking for a friend.
Bahaha. In 2021/2022 I did like 13000km and 350000 climbing on the MTB training for the TransNZ. 90% was on the Ali 9-42 cassettes without a missed beat across 3 bikes. Tell me what I’m meant to learn from again?It’s not a wanky value purchase. Buy a deore level drivetrain and be done with it.
Ur excuse of it’s good, unless it’s for racing is completely flawed. If it can’t make it through a day of 30km riding where you have support at the bottom of the hill, why would you risk it when out on a trail ride.
you’ve spent more money and time on these shitty cassettes when you could’ve either got a deore cassette and gone riding or done 3hours extra work to get the gx
We all make stupid purchases to try and save a dollar (I once purchased e13 tyres and crank brothers products) but fuck me craigos why don’t you learn from it.
Could've spent more on your plastic surgery though. It's hard work just looking at you sometimes...Bahaha.

Just because you made expensive silly purchases that failed on you, doesn’t mean I have.
I certainly don’t skimp on my bikes, but I don’t over spend on things I don’t need to for the sake of vanity.
Thats nearly 1000vm of climbing every day of the year.350000 climbing
U just purchased an Ali express cassette that isn’t what you thought was pictured and is comparable to deore in cost.Bahaha.

A deore is $160+, and I wanted an XD cassette for the spare wheel (it’s cost me $70, has better range, and is lighter)U just purchased an Ali express cassette that isn’t what was pictured and is comparable to deore in cost.
Except it’s over 2 years. And check your math.Thats nearly 1000vm of climbing every day of the year.
Not questioning your number but thats a fair effort.
You spoke of learning from mistakes. Can you at least give it a chance to fail before being a flog about it?
If it fails spectacularly or shifts poorly, I’ll let you know.
That’s what this thread is specifically for, is it not? Thanks for your concern.
HEY! I heard that.The crowd that it's marketed at don't ride hard or only ride once a year so don't need to worry about folding cogs.
No need to be so bitter and butthurt man. I have NFI why you’d even hang out in a thread populated by peasants.That’s exactly what this thread is for. As @CHEWY already said, it failed on him. U can learn from someone else’s mistakes as well.
you were offered a refund and still didn’t take it. I think it says more about you than ur climbing stats m8
