If so, their cassettes are garbage. My wife's REI bike came with one, and the shifting was horrible. If you didn't downshift exactly a multiple of a full gear step, the chain would run between two cogs and not shift back up to the taller one like it does on an SRAM or Shimano cassette. I finally replaced it after she told me it was so undependable that she always clipped out before downshifting! Yikes. I did like the 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-30 bailout spacing, though.
If not, forget what I said.

Jan 16, 2002 2:26 PM | | totally different companies, no connection whatsoever. that "bailout" is bogus -- going from a 24 to a 30 with nothing in between is ill-informed; I told the US representative of sunrace that a couple of years ago when I tested some of their stuff. |
| Then shimano's ill informed too because they do it also. | DeeEight

| Decent stuff... | DeeEight
Jan 17, 2002 12:07 PM | | they're a big taiwanese component maker in the same style as SRAM, Shimano, Suntour (some weird rule about drivetrain component makers have to be named with an 's' unless they're italian).
I think Travis Brown is sponsored by them and races on their JuJu model parts. |
