According to JBAFromNY <jaweb@xxxxxxxxxx>:
As part of a quest to upgrade a bike on the cheap, I've noticed that Nashbar's house brand cassettes are cheaper than Shimano, SRAM, and Campy, and come in a cog combination I can use. Are they any good? Will spending a bit more on Shimano get me noticeably better shifting and/or durability?
I use an 8-speed Nashbar cassette on my mountain bike and it shifts wonderfully. It's heavy enough that I suspect it will be longer-lived than a comparable Shimano part.
I used one of these for a while. Besides being much heavier (than SRAM) it had a tendency to shed teeth. I think the SRAM cassettes are a better value.
