Agreed. For the past couple of years I've been using cheapie SRAM cassettes and have not had a problem with them at all. You can get them through Universal Cycles for like $22. There's even a cheaper model available if I remember correctly. In my original response I stated "I doubt I'd purchase a Deore or Ultegra derailer again." What I meant to say was a "Deore XT...". Yes, I'm very happy with my basic Deore derailer and will probably keep using them. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
