Is there any difference in quality between Shimano, Sram, Nashbar, etc.? What brands do you recommend? Thank you.
I've never used the SRAM or Nashbar or Origin8 cassettes, so hopefully someone else will chime in on them. The Shimano cassettes at least are serving me well, and I have yet to wear one out. At one time, Shimano made a 12-21 that would probably be perfect for you, but it seems like the dealers have run out of stock on that one.
