I used the 11-32 SROAD cassette with SRAM Red/Force/Rival and Shimano 9100/8000 drivetrains and aside from being a little noisy, it's been great- shifting is fast and on point. I used an 11-42 SunRace cassette with a 1x Di2 setup and that shifted nice and fast, as well.
2014 Madone 5.9 w/R9100 shifters and R8000 everything else- using 38mm ICANs or 60/90 SuperTeams- 7.25kgs with the ICANs and Garmin Vector S dual sided PM pedals- not super light but not a dog, either!

What kind of chainring and chain are you using with the SRoad?

I was using 6800 with the SRAM and the Shimano groupo but recently got an FSA carbon crank (597 grams). The 6800 was 50/34, 53/39 and finally 53/36- shifted great for the most part except you needed to be careful shifting into a crosschain with the 53/36 combo. FSA is great so far- light and stiff enough.StiffWeenies wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 6:16 amWhat kind of chainring and chain are you using with the SRoad?

I've got my eye on one of the SROAD SLR2 cassettes (link below) and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it?
It'll be paired with a KMC X11EL Chain and a Magene P325CS crankset.

Is it true the SROAD SLR-2 has all steel sprockets and the spider is aluminum for 228g for an 11-32? I was looking at the ZTTO 11-32 at 216g but the larger sprockets are 7075 alloy on it. Interesting. Please report back on how you like it.

Yep, it's machined out billet steel with cogs 1-10 being a single piece of material that is then attached to an aluminum spider, the 11th cog is then a single aluminum ring. Super low weight that should last for a long time. As far as I know it's the same production method that the super high end Sram cassettes that cost hundreds of euros.

Were those cassettes designed for AXS? Would be cool to combine the SRoad cassette with Ratio's upcoming 2x12 conversion kit for SRAM 2x10 & 2x11 mechanical. I've got an old '08 S-Works SL2 with Red 2x10 that would be perfect this kind of fixer upper build.

I installed a Sunrace, at the time they had most teeth, but a bit loud.
I don't see a shortage for Shimano cassette.. still under $100 Amazon prime, e.g 105 actually $70. Consumers don't seem to wear them out quick enough to have a big demand. I would get brand name, smoother quieter operation
Chain - I would buy brand name, I wouldn't want to save $20 and have it break.

I've been using an SROAD 11-32 cassette for I'd say 1500 miles, maybe 2000 and it's been great. Maybe a little louder than a Shimano cassette but the shifting is great. I do keep my drivetrain really clean so that might have something to do with it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.OlieSimpson wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 10:54 amI've got my eye on one of the SROAD SLR2 cassettes (link below) and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it?
