A quick update on a VG sports cassette that I tried.
I tried fitting a 12 speed VG Sports MTB cassette from AliExpress to an 11 speed HG freehub. The cassette used the correct HG mounting standard, but rattled around, and did not fit properly. After reading the comments, this was basically because I forgot to include a spacer behind the cassette 🤦♂️
In this quick episode, I properly mount the VG Sports cassette, and test the shifting performance against a SRAM PG-1230.

I love cycling, and I love getting pro cycling kit for less. If it’s cheap, from China, and made of carbon fibre, I’m interested!
