SRAMPG1170 11 Speed Cassette

No need to say anything about this Cassette. It works, it lasts, it has no faults. Sarm is quality.Shimano does not make an 11-36 for use with their Ultagra groupo. I tried the Sram 1170 11-36 and it works perfectly.

I bought this to have a lower gear on my gravel bike, a diverge comp with 48-32 Praxis cranks and and long cage ultegra rear derailleur with a 11-34 shimano cassette. Nominally those cranks and the derailleur are at the maximum range of rear derailleur (34 tooth) and also chain uptake capacity according to Shimano. However, I was able to install this without modifying the chain length (ie. without adding two links to accommodate the extra two teeth) or doing any other adjusting. The derailleur handles the expanded 48-36 length just fine despite being 2 teeth too many in the official specs and the chain shifts fine onto the 36 tooth sprocket. One pro tip: the 11-34 cassette comes with a spacer that goes between the hub and the the largest cassette sprockets. If you look closely, you will see that the cassette is dished and the spacer removes that dish. The SRAM cassette is not dished and does not need the spacer. Also, take care when installing the lock ring. Make sure that the cassette is installed without ANY dust/grit between the sprockets and that the lock ring fully engages with the threads on the hub body. It is easy to think the threads are engaged when they are not and strip the lock ring. Have fun and enjoy your new 5% lower gear. Bonus is that Gear #2 is also lower than previously and is also a nice climbing gear.

With SRAM, sometimes it makes sense to move up to Red, other times not so much.While Red cassettes are beautiful and function great, they're simply not worth the extra cost over Force. Outside of weight savings, 1170/Force is everything Red is, performance wise.If you pair this ratio cassette with a 52/36, there's almost nothing you can't climb. I, myself, have yet to encounter any climb that this cassette didn't give me more than enough range to comfortably spin up.Shifting is smooth, especially if you pair this with a Red level chain.Overall, 1170/force cassettes are as good as you'll get performance wise.Highly recommended5 starsCheers!

Force quality cassette. I use this on my 2x Shimano GRX gravel bike. Shimano says 34t is the largest you can go with the medium cage GRX derailleur but I’ve had no issue getting this 36t to work. It’s the standard Shimano road bike spline system, and fits 10 and 11 speed hubs. Shifts well, and looks like it will last awhile. I paired it with a SRAM chain and a Quarq front crank for pretty much spot on shifting. The 11-36 combined with a 2x in 46-34 gives me a serious gravel climbing gear and better range than a 1x.

I couldn't find an 11-34 cassette to purchase anywhere so I got this SRAM 11-36. The chain was replaced because it needed another link or 2 to accommodate the 36 cog and made a small adjustment to b-screw then I was in business. No issues shifting on/off the big cog. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Worked out great for my gravel/adventure bike rebuild. Works well with Shimano 105 GS derailleur - no hanger extension required. Offers a perfect middle ground between wide range of gears and having too much of a jump between gears. I use it with CX 2x chainring setup (46/36) and never feel that I can't find the right gear ratio for the cadence, and have not run out of low gears on steep gravel climbs or high gears on faster descents.

I got this cassette and it was in pieces so I sent it back for a replacement only to get the same thing. I don’t know if I am missing a spacer or am just not putting it together correctly as there are no instructions or any guidance. Most likely will return. It doesn’t seem to be the best quality either. If you like puzzles then you will like this one.

Never realized, chains could be so different. Live and Learn, Now seemed to get all the gearing correct and did my best today 35.6kph for 33km. Whoopee!!! And it wasn't a flat route.

Arrived early. Easy to fit and works great. Lighter than the old cassette and better gearing for road riding, on the gravel bike.

Too early to comment on durability. However fit was easy and shifting is great.

Minted bruv!

Great service - great item!

The cassette works brilliantly with my 11spd KMC chain. It is a good buy considering its price.however, the cassette arrived loose and the rings were all over the place. SRAM could have used a cable tie to secure the cassette assembly in the box to prevent them from coming loose during shipment.
