I actually am also one of the cyclists that made the jump from freehubs to cassettes rather late.

If I had only know the ease of acquiring 11T cassettes, I probably would have made the conversion long before. But, since I made the leap late, I've pretty much skipped the uniglide generation.

I am very disappointed that my previous experience seemed to indicate that the old freewheels were almost indestructible, and then I started getting cassettes, and really have to watch chain wear like a hawk.
