SRAM’s shifting prowess is one of its greatest selling points. The affordable PG-1050 10-Speed Cassette proves that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a stellar shifting experience. The PG-1050 uses SRAM’s WiFli (Wider, Faster, Lighter) as the basis for its design. Using both an 11-36 and 12-36 option, you’re given a full range of gears so you’re never stuck doing that frantic “up, down, up” shifting to find something your legs like. SRAM uses PowerGlide technology to design the ramps and teeth to hold and release your chain for smooth shifting. The PG-1050 is built around an aluminum spider for the largest of the cogs to save weight. The cogs are nickel-plated steel, which keeps corrosion and rust at bay for a long life. The spline configuration means that it will fit any SRAM 9/10 speed freehub. It works well with any 10-speed chain, although SRAM touts the best shifting from its PC-1000 series chain.

My chain and cassette needed replacement on my Cervelo R3SL with Shimano 105 rear derailleur and I considered more expensive options before choosing this SRAM PG-1050. It works beautifully and shifts precisely and silently. We'll see about how well it lasts but so far I'm very satisfied.

I bought this because of my satisfaction with the 1st and 2nd ones that I had purchased. I ride my mountain quite a bit and need to swap these out with a chain replacement usually at the beginning of racing season.

Super cassette for someone who rides bikes hard and is perhaps a heavier-rider. Metal holds up to quick gear shifts as well as extended use in dirty/tough terrain conditions.

The PG1050 cassette is affordable and lasts for what seems to be forever. Heavier than most cassettes in the SRAM line up, but the trade off for a cassette that is reliable is worth it.

I bought my first sram cassette and ran on a shimano DA setup looking for a better gearing range. I went back to an ultegra because there was a weight penalty involved

Riding a 2013 Trek Domane 2.0. Great bike but as someone that only gets to ride at best a couple of times a week was missing the triple in my old bike. Swapped out the rear cassette and replaced the stock 30 tooth with this 32 tooth. Enjoying the extra lower gear to help on the hills. No more than I ride I need all the help I can get when I get about the 60 mile mark. On not is to make sure that you have the correct derailleur. For the 32 tooth at least on the Domane I had to swap that as well. The 2013 model had the short cage. Had to swap and use the long cage.

Upgraded my bike for climbing. Used this cassette with DR5701GS (rear derailleur) with 5600 105 shifters. Worked like a charm and I didn't need to buy a new 11 speed 5700 groupset to get to 32 cog in rear!

Picked the 1050 up to go with my trainer specific wheel for winter use. I have the 1070 on my riding wheels and don't notice much of a difference between shifting quality between the 1070 and 1050. Seems to me it boils down to weight.

The cassette is very substancial for climbing. I am coming from a 12-25 105 system to this gearing on the Orca. The 28-32 gives a bit more for steeper climbs if you are prone to areas with some decent grades. I live in the NC mountains so to find total flats impossible but that would be boring. I do dislike the lower gearing on the 11 cog for it turns like a hopped chain. But it is a sacrifice for that 28-32 I guess. I rather have some option for the climbs than not. Overall a decent cassette so far.
