What A Difference HG Makes.
Well, today I took my Concorde out for a shake down spin. During the winter, I remove the UG fee hub and installed a Hyper-Glide free hub cassettes. The bike is all Campy Athena, including wheels, but Shimano 105 hubs.
The Synchro II shifting system has always been sluggish with Shimano cassettes . Not anymore. With HG cassettes, shifts are precise and snappy, just like my 105 system. KB

Great that the Hyperglide cassette improved things so substantially! I'm usually the first to ditch the straight-cut, chunky mono-block toothed cassettes and head right for twist-tooth Uniglide cassettes/freewheels when dealing with friction and indexing Suntour as it is so nice. HG takes it another big step further and running those ramped cogs with friction shifting (Suntour RDs, especially) is sublime.
