Review by #1Reviewed 9/27/2019by #1Cycling Enthusiastsf bay area6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.dirty thirtyWell folks, the time comes when you are looking at 60 years in the rear view mirror and realize you need a little more spin for those steep skyline hills. My solution, the shimano ultegra 10 speed cassette with a thirty tooth cog. yep for now this old guy can still spin up those steep hills and enjoy it! Where you say can I get one? Well greybeard, at Bike Tires Direct of course! I have bought my tools of the road from these guys for many years and never once had a problem, shipping is fast and the price spot on. Disclaimer I do not work for these guys, really. I Just appreciate them. Have a great ride and I will see you out there!

Review by veloptuousReviewed 7/13/2022by veloptuousCycling EnthusiastRocky Mountains1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The Ultimate road cassetteI have been using the Ultegra cassettes for years. You can spend much more on a cassette but you won't get a better one. These work as well as anything and just last and last and last. Dura-Ace might save a gram or two and work the same, but it won't give you the long service life the Ultegra does. If you want a cassette that you can install and more or less forget about all while enjoying beautiful shifts day in and day out - this is it.

Review by Steve S.Reviewed 2/23/2017by Steve S.Cycling EnthusiastSeattle, WA5 of 7 customers found this review helpful.First time replacing a cassette.First time to ever change out a cassette, wow a very easy process. After replacing the cassette check out shifting with your chain and your back on the road again. 10 minutes max to replace a cassette. Faster than replacing a flat tire! Save few bucks, do it yourself. My old Shimano cassette a little over 8,000 miles still working but thought with a great price at Bike Tires Direct why not replace the cassette. Shimano TOP quality products along with Bike Tires Direct, my go to online bike store.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/24/2022by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPhoenix AZ3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Smooth shifting, good valueI needed to replace my 10-speed Dura-ace cassette because of worn cogs and was originally looking for a Dura-ace 10-speed cassette. Not only were they difficult to find, but the few I found were extremely expensive! I "settled" for this Ultegra cassette and I am very glad I did. Not only is it waaay less expensive, but the shifting is just as clean and crisp as my Dura-ace cassette. Even though I know there is a weight difference, I really can't feel it in any way. I have it paired with a SRAM hollow-pin chain and the combination works extremely well. I would definitely recommend this cassette.

Review by EBReviewed 6/20/2023by EBDaily CommuterHorseTownUSAShimano Ultegra CS-6700 10-Speed Cassette race readyShimano Ultegra 10-speed cassette CS-6700 236g (12/25) $75 compared to Dura Ace CS-7900 163g (11/25) $180. Ultegra is only 73g (2.5oz) added weight over Dura Ace, but $110 less. That's about the weight of a Clif bar in your cycling jersey pocket ??. Ultegra is the intelligent cost-weight ratio choice. Wait for the next BikeTireDirect sales event and save an additional 20% !

Review by Bob WalshReviewed 1/5/2017by Bob WalshBuffalo,NY2 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Good Group SetI find Ultegra cassettes bullet proof and a good value for my training bike. They are relatively inexpensive and last a long time if you take care of them. Highly recommended.

Review by twainReviewed 12/21/2016by twainCompetitive Racerredwood city2 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Great valueI am still running 10 speed. Needed a new cassette for a new Hed wheel. For $XX, these are incredible deal! The finish holds up really well, too. Seems to be more durable than Dura Ace for a lot less $ and just a little more weight.

Review by DuckFan bike riderReviewed 11/16/2020by DuckFan bike riderCycling EnthusiastEugene, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Good durable productReplaced a well worn Shimano cassette and chain at the same time. Both new components work well together.
These parts were used to rebuild an old (1982) steel frame bike. Nice improvement!

Review by DieselReviewed 6/26/2015by DieselCycling EnthusiastPortsmouth, NH3 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Well made, crisp shiftingGood product by Shimano. Still think price could be a little lower since they are mass produced. I do like the quality control though. Decent packaging. Product could come with an extra bottom spacer.
