[RBW] Re: RBW Cassettes from IRD

A cheaper alternative to the Harris cassette is Shimano sells an 11-30 9 
speed cassette:

http://www.wiggle.com/shimano-hg50-9-speed-cassette/

For $18, it is a pretty good deal. But two things about them. First, 
there's that 11t small cog that many don't like. Second, I found the 
quality of Shimano HG50 to be mediocre. It just doesn't shift as crisp as 
my ultegra/dura ace cassettes. Still, for $18, it is definitely worth a 
try. Good Luck!

IRD made Riv spec ones. Not sure they're still in production, but I haven't 
heard anything to indicate they canned them. Probably just long lead times are 
iffy forcasting.

Thanks for the replies and the lead to Soma & IRD.  I knew about the Harris 
Ultegra's but thought they were high priced.  Compared to the upper level 
IRD ($90) they are not.

I have enough to go on.

Did Rivendell just sell certain IRD's or did IRD make a special one for 
RBW???

Looks like Soma has the 12-32.

According to IRD website, they are no longer making the 12-32, only 12-30 
and 12-34.

I need to know such things as I just rebuilt my 20 year old MTB 9 speed!
