No, you bought it 'cause it's hip and trendy, and most of all 'cause it says 'MacNeil' on it. How many sprockets have you actually managed to wreck (on purpose, not from crashing or being a sketchball) and how many times have you actually caught your leg on it doing backpackers?

Actually my buddy has one of the Eastern cassettes and it's still running smooth after almost a year. He's sketchy as hell too and does no bike maintenance.

a few grams?

set 44t profile blackjack, fatclaw 16t freewheel, and a KMC 415Heavy chain

next to my:

RNC ti lite 25t, KMC 510hx, and 10t driver

much smaller, stronger sprocket
shorter slimmer chain
smaller, more reliable driver

a pound at LEAST...
