It was hypothetical, but probably not that far off for an inexpensive cassette. I honestly don’t know the differences in material properties of lower vs higher end offerings.

I’m guessing this thread will now spin off into cassette life where some will get less than 2000 miles and others more than 10,000 miles. Four to six is probably a better estimate.

And then it will morph to cassette longevity vs lube.

In a week, if it still on page 1, any semblance to the OP’s coating difference will be in the distant past.
