I opted for the 11/36 cassette, and it works just fine. I didn't even need to replace the chain.

Review by The CaptainReviewed 12/1/2018by The CaptainCycling EnthusiastIllinois2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Best zwift set up!!!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.

Review by Joe bikerReviewed 3/9/2023by Joe bikerCycling EnthusiastEastern Sierra1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Perfect Gravel Bike Gearing for me.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.

Review by Frenchy Reviewed 10/22/2018by Frenchy Cycling EnthusiastNH5 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Great competition to Campy....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....!!!!

Review by goblue1Reviewed 12/29/2016by goblue1Cycling EnthusiastEast Washington3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.gives me great range of gearing for my 1x sram drivetrainI 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.

Review by The Vicar of NHReviewed 5/11/2018by The Vicar of NHCompetitive RacerSouthern NH3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.standard by which to measure othersIt'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.

Review by grajkovicReviewed 11/12/2020by grajkovicDaily CommuterIssaquah, Washington11 of 11 customers found this review helpful.SRAM 11-Speed Cassettes - TERRIFIC!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.
