PG-1070 Cassette
With the introduction of the Force and Rival road groups, SRAM brought some long-overdue, fresh-thinking to component design. Thankfully, SRAM's creativity and innovation didn't stop at components with show-stopper aesthetics like shift levers and cranksets. Instead, it's evenly extended to parts that're traditionally thought to be rather mundane, like the cassette. And unlike other cassette manufacturers, who maintain multiple models of cassettes despite the minimal differences between them, SRAM did the sensible thing: It offers a highly scaled back range of cassettes. The standard model, found here, is known as the PG-1070 Cassette, while the deluxe model is known as the OG-1090.
Whether you're riding a Red, Force, or a Rival-equipped bike, the 'PowerGlide' shifting of the PG-1070 cassette will provide crisp, positive shifting under any circumstance -- whether it be a mellow spin, or at max power on a steep climb. And, unlike either Dura-Ace and Record, the PG-1070 weighs in at a scant 220 grams without having to resort to easily-worn titanium cogs. Rather, the PG-1070 is made from durable heat-treated steel, giving you tons of mileage before you'll need to replace it.
The PG-1070 is available in several ratios. Its spline configuration allows it to fit on any Shimano 9- or 10-speed freehub, and it's compatible with any 10-speed chain: SRAM, Shimano, or Wippermann's S-series chains. What SRAM suggests, of course, is that you use one of its 10-speed PC-1000 series chains for optimal shifting. And, in addition to the aforementioned, the PG-107 includes a forged, anodized, and laser-etched lockring.
The actual weight of the SRAM PG-1070 Cassette varies with tooth count, but for reference, the 11-25t is a claimed 224 grams.
- Variety of gear ratios
- Full-steel construction for long use life
- Universal HG freehub compatibility
- Compatible with Shimano and SRAM drivetrains

Very disappointed in BackCountry.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Fit:
- True to size
I understand that at times a product is returned and then repackaged and reshipped as new. However, it is unacceptable and extremely poor customer service to not take care when doing so. I ordered a new SRAM PG-1070 from Backcountry. What I received was a cassette that had been returned and repackaged. Normally, I would not fret over this if the product was in good shape. However, what came in the mail was the original box, poorly taped shut, with the cassette in pieces simply tossed into the box. The original clip and holder were right there uselessly rattling around with all of the other pieces. I dropped it off at the store that is re-hauling my bike, I hope it is all there in the box else this will not be the end of this story. I doubt that I will order from Backcountry again due to this. Update: All of the pieces were indeed in the box and I'm now riding on the cassette.

Wrong cassette sent 3 times!
I ordered the 11-32 SRAM cassette and got a 12-32. The box is marked 11-32 but itâs actually a 12-32. Returned it and was sent the wrong thing again 12-32 in an 11-32 box. Returned it and ordered another with specific instructions to examine the cassette and yet I received yet another 12-32 in an 11-32 box.

The 11 tooth cog and lockring are behind the cassette for packaging. The 11 is in there.

Yeah, glad you posted, was just noticing the same thing. Then I counted the cogs, only nine showing. The 11T is behind

10 speed cassette

This is a great replacement cassette for the money. I replaced a drivetrain on my friends hardtail and this was the same one that he had on it before.

BLING!

I like the SRAM cassettes because they shift well. But additionally I like them because they look fantastic!

Did the trick
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Got some new wheels to run with Red 10 sp group. The 11-28 worked out well, using a spacer on a DT240 11 speed hub. Didn’t even have to adjust the rear derailleur or shifter.

For the price, it does the job well
- Familiarity:

I run RED on my race bike and when you compare this to a RED cassette there are definite differences, but one of those is also the price. I have run 4 different configurations of this same cassette on various road bikes and tfor the price they deliver great value. The variety in gear ratios (now running an 11-32 on a climber) make this a great addition at a reasonable price point.

Love the wide range
- Familiarity:

I brought the 11-28 ratio because I am tired of swapping the 11-23 for the flat rides and 12-27 for hilly rides. Now I can have the best of both world! Shifting is flawless once you fine tune the RD.

I have a Di2 10 speed (11-25 Cassette ) and want to upgrade 1 To a 11 speed 12-32 ( or higher cassette ) 2 The higher cassette is a ram 12-36 3 If this is not possible can I still get a Di10 medium rear derailseur and add a larger cassette ( either a -32 or -36)

Medium Cage will work for 11-32, for 36 you need a Large.

Basic Cassette

This is a great, reasonably priced cassette. Works as you would expect with super crisp shifts. Also come in a variety of tooth configurations.

Was great until I broke it

Been riding this cassette hard for the last few years. Managed to bend a feed ramp that eventually caused it to fail, but with how many miles I put on it I can't really blame the cassette.

FYI - SRAM lock nut is silver not black

I love the way these cassettes fit together and install with ease. This is well crafted and solid but light. Built up a fat bike in my basement with an SRAM X9/X7 drive train to better mimic the 2014 OEM. Decided to have the shop run the cables so to be sure it will look as good as it shifts although most of the build has been super straightforward. A little nervous leaving it there after babying it the past 2 weeks. UPDATE: after 2 years in snow, mud, rain, and slop, this cassette is going strong, never skips, and is easy to keep clean.

Perfect gearing
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Great range of gears for 52/36 chainrings up front. Can only be outdone by an 11-speed set up. Able to keep same cassette for all types of riding in San Diego/Southern California (flattish coastal rides, 4-hour rides up/down Mt. Palomar, the 100-mile Ride- Around-The-Bear in San Bernardino Mtns, 100-mile Tour de Palm Springs, etc.). Runs quiet and smooth with awesome Shimano reliability. Needed to add 2 links to my chain to clear the upper pulley from the 28 tooth cog and having the B-screw completely turned in as far as it will go (may need to go with longer B-screw). This is on a 6800 Dura Ace rear derailleur.

Great Quality, Easy install, very quiet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I put this more all-mountain cassette on a more downhill oriented bike at the suggestion of a buddy that uses it on his bike. He said it would make any pedaling uphill easier, I chose the 11X32 and so far its been great. It's been on my bike a couple weeks and no complaints thus far. May upgrade at some point, but for now it is working well and weight is not a huge issue.

A change of gearing, worked out great!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Was referred by a seasoned road bike rider to change into this cassette from what I was riding on. A little bit of changed up learning curve, but now I have great gears for climbing, and other big chain ring gears for flat riding. No problems.

Make Sure To Get The Right Cog Size
I got caught with a worn out chain that had also worn on my cassette. No bueno but will be sure not to make that mistake again and happy to be able to get a reasonably priced one here. Make sure you understand the different cog sizes and what's right for your bike!

Shram 12/32 cassette
it went on and worked smoothly without any adjustments to the DA der and was quieter than the DA cassette. Life is good.

Great Cassette
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
This is a great product, relatively light and well built. My last one lasted me 6 years and thousands of miles of riding. I find the 11X26 is a good cassette with a compact in the front and I live in the mountains of Colorado, unless you live in a really steep hilly area like Vermont, then in that case go with an 11X28.
