Shimano Deore XT M770 Reviews

Description: (from shimano.com)
The 2008 Shimano Deore M770 Cassette is a strong and durable cassette that features small pins on the back of the large cog. Ever overshift a chain past the largest cog? These pins prevent the chain from reaching and damaging the spokes.

Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by GoldenGoose   on May 24, 2009   Pros Lightweight. Shift great. Replaceable cogs. Offered in two different sprocket ranges. Cons NOT cheap but you won't be disappointed either. Verdict A sweet shifting, good looking, and very lightweight cassette. Lasts longer than Shimano's lower end products but still needs love after the ride to keep it performing like the day you bought it. You can easily find one in the $60 range so it's not going to break the bank either. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by 2leftfeet   on December 22, 2008   Pros Light, smooth flawless shifting Cons expensive Verdict If these could be like 50 bucks cheaper I would be very happy. As it is I get about 1 season of riding out of one. I am not a maintenance freak though, so maybe if you clean your chain more than me it will last longer.
