We hate to sound like cynics, but staring down at your cassette and praying for just one more miracle gear in the midst of a nausea-inducing climb will likely always be a part of cycling. The wider cassettes get, the more gears we'll wish for, which is why a workhorse cassette like SRAM's NX PG-1130 11-Speed Cassette is still a valuable choice. With its corrosion-resistant JET black finish, solid one-piece steel construction, and extensive 11-42t gear range, the PG-1130 was designed to accompany you through punishing climbs so you can blast through the descents on the other side. You'll just have to use those legs. And whether you're running SRAM one-by or still sticking to double, the cassette will work with any non-XD Shimano/SRAM freehub.
