Sounds like the cheapo cassette just wore out really fast.
I have seen some cheap chains wear out in well under 1000k miles too though. I’m looking at you PC1110 and NXeagle…

1000 miles, yes? If you had a chain that lasted 1,000,000 miles (a) just how much riding do you do, (b) are you actually immortal, and (c) who made that chain and how much did it cost?

I got one of these in an 11-40 and it seems alright. Not real light. Probably hasn’t had that much use if I’m honest. Edit: 504 grams.
LOL… yes 1000 miles.

I ordered a sunrace and got one branded with one of those incomrehensible aliexpress names.

I have purchased both Sunshine and Bolany cassettes from China/eBay. I haven’t died yet! Wear seems comparable with Shimano cassettes (so far).
We should have a thread where we help each other keep track of the threads

Some one suggested to me the other day that there were lower external headset cups that allowed you to run a tapered steerered fork in a frame built for a straight steerer. Can anyone confirm to me that this is a real thing, as I had never heard of it.

don’t think you’ll get a 1.5" to 1.125" (1 1/8") tapered steerer into a 1.125" straight head tube hole
but there’s like a headset that let’s a 1.5" to 1.125" steerer fit into a 1.73" (44mm) “straight” head tube hole

Going by what this person said, it sounded like it was very external and added a fair bit of height. I admit I don’t know what format it was from/to.
sounds terrible
hope someone here can dig it up
