for the money its a no brainer. I'm looking at one as well for my nomad, havnt pulled the trigger yet.
Seems the guys on mtbr are happy with them. I would just take the extra weight penalty and get the one with steel 42t cog.

so please buy and report back :)

Agreed. For pretty much the same price as a OneUp 42T cog on its own, you can get the entire cassette. I would still do the RAD cage from OneUp to deal with the B-tension screw issue however.

Not 10 speed. But have used Sunrace cassettes both road and mtb off and on for 10 years. No problems to date.

Now $90 is a bit much for a cassette but then again I am a Dirtbag.

Got my eye on this for my wifes bike. Would definitely get a one up cage for it.

is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?

fines are useless. there needs to be more punches to the throat.

I've read that only shimano derailleurs need the rad cage. And sram derailleurs don't. True?

I run a OneUp 42T on two bikes. One with RAD cage, one without. Both are Shimano GS (one with clutch one without!) Shifting is definitely better with the RAD cage, but still acceptable without. Not sure how the shifting is with SRAM derailleurs.

Likewise. Its either this or splash out a few more bucks and get her on 1x11.

Tried them all, steel and alloy versions, 40 and 42 tooth versions. They work well with a 10spd Sram RD or a Rad/Rad'r cage equipped 10spd Shimano RD. That last point is key: you need a Rad / Rad'r cage with a Shimano RD.

Agreed. I have the 11-42 with an xt with radr cage. Shifts through the range really well. Not as silky smooth up and down as my old one up converted SLX cassette. Downshifts feel really close, but up shifts clunk into place. I've heard it smooths out after several rides. I'm hoping so. But works well enough. Shifts are as quick as before, just clunky.
