SRAM PG-1170 11-Speed Cassette

I now need a wider gear range. Low gears (32) for climbing and high (11) for the decent. Works great

Shimano 11-40 ioverkill and 11-34 is to little for my gravel bike. Sram 11-36 is ideal gearing for me. Also the spacing between gears is a little closer compared with the 11-40. The downside is it doen't shift quite as smoothly as Shimano Hyperglide.

I recently got this for my Tacx Neo for indoor Zwifting this winter. I do about 250 miles a week on Zwift and I really wanted a premium cassette for buttery smooth shifting and this 11-36 Force cassette delivered!!! I got it on a daily special for 65 dollars and went a head and got an 11-32 while I was at it. I did the whole Planet Hoth thing last year but after my insulated water bottles froze solid I knew this year I would spend the cash and stay in my living room. I normally run an 10-42 Sram XX1 1199 MTB cassette on my carbon Giant TCX but after demoing Zwift at the LBS I learned the hills on Zwift were about 70% of real hills!!! this a perfect indoor training cassette and I would recommend it to anyone serious about cycling.

Use this on my gravel bike.

All my bikes have been equipped with Campy, and buying a new bike I was sold to tryout SRAM....

I put 6000 miles on the cassette this summer, and just loved the whole system!!!!

At my age, its better to mouline than push the big gears..... I wish they provided cassette from 13,and up, since I never used 11and12....!!!!

Works without any issue with Di2 GRX

Good value, works well, and I would buy again.

It was time to upgrade. New chain, new cassette. Works well with my compact set up. Best deals and customer service from BTD. Couldn't be happier.

Paired with a CX1 derailleur, this cassette offers plenty of range. Haven't dropped a chain yet.

I live in WA and we do have some longer climbs so I wanted some extra gears as I do more fondo's. This gearing gives me more range to climb with less pressure on my knees than before. I ride sram 1x on the front and this gives me everything I need on the low and high end.

Replaced the Shimano 11x34 with a11x36 Sram. Shifting equal to Shimano. Easy way to get lower gearing.

The SRAM PG-1170 always delivers and seemingly last many, many miles. Way more value for the price.

Great product, best bang for the buck and shifts well with not much of a weight penalty

It's great to be consistent and use SRAM throughout the entire drivetrain. Thus, I purchased this cassette for my cyclocrossgravel grinder bike. No issues, everything works like a charm. I needed the extra gearing for Rasputitsa (ouch). All's well that ends well.

I used this product for my bike, I try to change my cassette once I have reach a certain amount of miles, I don't have no problem with this item

My bike came equipped with Shimano Ultegra but I prefer the SRAM cassettes & SRAM chain. Smooth shifting and very quiet.

Smooth great quality

What's great about this product? Unlike Shimano 11-speed cassettes for road use, you can separate most of the cogs on the SRAM cassettes, allowing much more thorough cleaning between maintenance intervals. Additionally, the gearing is a huge benefit for these cassettes (11-36T) over the Shimano equivalent (11-34T). The spacing in the lower cogs is only 1T apart, meaning that the cogs go 11-12-13... and then fan out near the cassette top. This gives great ratios for flats and descents, as well as gear options for climbing. Moreover, these cassettes are EXTREMELY durable - I have yet to break a tooth, and I ride these for 10,000 mi+ in all sorts of weather conditions - they show minimal wear (I do keep them clean between rides, and especially thorough on maintenance intervals). They are made of very resilient steel. Although, they can be a bit louder than the Shimano counterparts due to having many different separate cogs separated by spacers, versus a lot of them connected via a couple of spiders, it is much more practical, and you get used to it. Again, this design makes the cassette much easier to inspect and clean. I would never go back to the Shimano equivalents. I always buy these, and I have never had any issue with them. HIGHLY recommend them if you're on the fence. Shimano "GS" derailleurs will shift 11-36T just fine - Shimano just specifies the maximum limit to 34T as they do not make anything larger than 34T. I've used these fine in 11-36T configurations on Shimano GS/RX derailleurs - mechanical and Di2. FLAWLESS.

Smooth running and nice to have the additional help, especially with the gravel hills in the PNW.
