The nice thing about the MCM cogs is that you can mix and match at will since there are no paired sprockets.

Thanks Dave,

I may have to buy one of Tom's cassettes when mine wears out. I have one of Tom's saddles and he has helped me with gearing issues before. How does Titanium hold up compared to steel? It certainly weighs less.

Bruce,

I realty don?t know how long a titanium cassette will last compared to steel. I do know that the chain has a lot to due with cassette wear. I once read that the Discovery Channel team mechanic changes the chain after each race and the cassettes ?last for years?. Some guys I know use three chains and rotate them about every 750 miles. I think the biggest benefit about Tom?s cassettes is that you can change cogs when one wears out, which is much cheaper than replacing the entire cassette. titanium is about 50% lighter than steel

How you do like Tom?s saddle and which one are you using?

Dave
