Re: [RBW] IRD 8-speed [13-40] Wide Range Cassette

[Jim Bronson]

When choosing a wide range casette - I would look at percentage jumps
rather than tooth jumps.  The 17 to 21 jump sounds like a pretty big one,
percentage wise speaking.  A 4 tooth jump is much larger in the higher
gears than the lower gears, percentage wise.  $0.02 and YMMV.

I also echo the thoughts of others to go more speeds if you're going
wider.  I switched to 10 speed, using SRAM 12-32 currently with a 44-28
wide low double.  That seems to be a good compromise for me.

[RBW] IRD 8-speed [13-40] Wide Range Cassette

[jandrews_nyc]

Greetings, 
Curious if anyone here has any experience using this cassette.
I'm currently using the 12-34 version, which is pleasantly spaced like 
this:  [12-13-15-18-21-24-28-34].  The jumps go 1,2,3,3,3,4,6.
I'm interested in the 13-40 version, with has some odd-sounding spacing.. 
 . [13-15-17-21-25-28-34-40].  The jumps go 2,2,4,4,3,6,6.
I am happy the 8-speed setup on my SH and I don't really want to replace a 
bunch of parts.  I think I can swap out that cassette and maybe add a 
RoadLink 

 
and be good to go.
Hoping to hear some direct user experience before purchasing.
Thanks
Jason
