If you cycle in the hills, you need this.
My road bike came with a 11-28 cassette fitted as standard (Shimano). This has been my first upgrade and I anticipated a straight swap for this 11-32 cassette as they should, and probably are, the same width. After a huge amount of effort to remove the locking ring, off came the 11-28 and on went the 11-32. However, there was a huge amount of lateral 'slide' on the hub behind the fixed 11T - the locking ring simply wasn't closing the 11T tight against the rest of the cassette. Enter a standard Shimano 1mm spacer, placed inboard of the cassette, tighten and now I have one solid cassette.As to the improvement in my ability to climb hills - a quantum leap so if you are presented with appreciable climbs in your part of the world, get that 32T cog.

Excellent Product
Inexperienced in replacing cassettes but needed one for a 2nd hand MTB I recently purchased. I ended up changing it myself. A simple job and I'm delighted with the results. The new cassette works absolutely beautifully, smoother shifts and now I can use all of the gears when out and about. Very pleased with my purchase, the service and the outcome. 💪

Improves very steep climbs cadence but make the jumps between cogs worse
It worsens the jumb between cogs " obviously " it is a 8 speed, but I live in the Lake District and some climbs are really really steep, so this Cassette it's a life-saver.
