Difference HG50 and HG62 MTB cassettes?
Folks,
The cassette on my MTB is shot, new chain jumps. It's a HG-62 11-36T but hard to find, most HG-62 are only 11-34T. HG-50 is more available in 11-36T and cheaper. What's the difference between HG-50 and HG-62, other than one being used on Alivio systems and the other one on bikes with Deore? I would not care about weight or whether it shifts a millisecond faster. I do care about how long it lasts and about cost. The current cassette didn't even last 4k miles :-( -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

The current cassette didn't even last 4k miles :-( Add-on question: Can I also use a HG81 cassette instead? Some folks in reviews said that could gouge the freehub body. No idea why because AFAICT the HG81 has the three larges cogs on a carrier. Problem is, the HC62 is not much in stock in 11-36T at reasonable prices. Except for Merlin Cycles in the UK which would be ok but takes 10 days to get here (US). I am a bit skeptical about the HG50 after (just before ordering ..) seeing several reviews where people had bent cogs just by pedaling. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

They also had the very beefy 29" CST Rock Hawk tire which I am going to try on the trails when the current one is bald. Will let you guys know how this fares. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

HG50 is good esp in 8 spds Yeah, but this is 10-speed. Need to know whether those last as long a HG-62. Or essentially, what is the difference? IF the HG-62 is better quality steel and last longer it might make sense to spend more. But only if more miles per Dollar. I can't say for the actual alloy, or any heat treatment, used, to make the individual cogs but the thickness of the 9 speed and 10 speed cassette cogs seems to be essentially the same. The difference seems to be only the width of the spacers between the actual cogs themselves. I would expect no difference in cog wear between a 9 and 10 speed cassette. -- Cheers, John B. |
