Review: Great quality and price - This makes a good upgrade for most 8-speed budget hybrids and mountainbikes. I fitted one of these to a Ridgeback Velocity and a Scott Aspect 50 and in both cases the bikes now run a lot smoother. In both cases I also changed the chains to a KMC Z8S and also added a new Alivio crankset to the Ridgeback. You'll need the right tools to do the job, a chainwhip and shimano compatible cassette removal tool (and maybe a chainbreaker depending on your old chain). You'll also need a crankset tool to remove a crankset (if you change it which is recommended if it's worn badly, otherwise the chain will wear out faster). All very easy if you've got moderate mechanical skills and lot cheaper than getting a bike shop to do it.
Review: A good replacement or upgrade Shimano cassette. - Good quality Shimano cassette for your HG hub. I bought this to replace the factory fitted Sunrace cassette that came on my Merida hybrid bike. The hardest part of any cassette installation is getting the old one off. The Shimano nickel finish looks amazing and the black decals go with my black bike. Paired with a new chain I hope to get well over 2000 miles out of this before I consider changing it. Disappointingly the desertcart service on this order was poor - it stated delivery within a few days but it took nearly a month and arrived from Europe. Seeing as I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere with a quicker lead time i nearly cancelled the order. Luckily I wasn’t in a rush for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality to price sprokeset
*by A***N on 6 July 2013*

I usually use Shimano. This model, I will use soon to prepare new wheel, for my bike. It is good quality and price product. Of course, you should be perfectly sure what you are buying. The product fits for specific hub, derailleur and other bike elements. If you are not a bike expert, read manual and technical documents first. This is Alivio class according to Shimano, so it should be good for all user and has high/medium quality. I can recommend this class of Shimano product, specially for normal users. Higher class sprockets are recommended if you are high quality focused or you are a professional, racing biker (but they usually know what they want without reading any comments). Higher class elements, usually are slightly lighter and made of harder materials.
