Can you see if Cyclone sells IRD 10 speed 11-32 Cassettes? And if so what the price would be?


We stock them; 12~30, 11~32, 11~34 $179

I'll contact you in another month when hopefully I have the money and get one from you. What is your experience with IRD cassettes? Robinson here said that they don't shift very well. Looking closely at their pictures they seem to have the same steps in the same positions.


For no obvious reason, they don't shift as snappily as
Campagnolo teeth. OTOH they have low gears and fit your hub.

My brother had been bugging me about getting lower gears. I simply am about 500 miles behind my normal year because of all of the various problems of babysitting my older brother to his eye appointments and all of the rain this year. The Lake Tahoe Ski runs intend to stay open until July 4th.

In any case I just did 36 miles and 3400 feet of climbing and averaged 9.7 mph. I don't log averages so I don't know how that compares to my prior rides.

But I need a new set of legs at the moment.

While tired at the end of the ride I am not totally exhausted.

My past experience with lower gears is that I get at least as tired with the lower gears and all of the spinning as the 34/25 I usually use for everything but the 20% stuff. But I'm willing to give it another try.

My two bikes with friction shifting don't shift very "snappily." But as
many would suspect, I'm OK with that. I'm just shifting gears; I'm not
playing a fugue.

You're playing chopsticks. BTW, when you're paying $179 for some f****** knock-off 10sp cassettes, they should play Chopin Fantasie Impromptu. My go-to cassette: https://www.westernbikeworks.com/pro...fltr=3714+3715 Those are on sale every month well sub-$50. Western had 10sp Ultegra cassettes in the $35 range last month or a few weeks ago on deal-of-the-day.

Campy 11 speed and Shimano made-in-Japan parts can give me the lower gears but I am having a problem changing over to 11 speeds now that they are talking not only 12's but 13's as well.
