Casette recommendations

[tallpaul]

I think it is time to replace the Shimano 10 speed cassette with about 2400 miles on it on my Haibike Full Seven mtb.
Getting set to replace chain, I get about 1200 miles before they start to get noisy.

Is there one brand or model that stands out? Smooth shifting, quiet and durability are what I would like.

i would get a Shimano XT (CS-M771) while they are still available. They do not seem to be in short supply now, but they won't be around forever because XT moved to 11 speed a few years ago.

Thanks Nova. Is there a particular reason why you recommend this cassette?

It's lighter than the stock cassette, and at the same time stiffer (some people complain about cogs getting bent on the HG-50 cassettes). Shimano cassettes work best with Shimano and KMC chains; if you're running a SRAM chain, then use a SRAM cassette.

Thanks again Nova!
