      Comments about Shimano Deore HG-50 9-Speed Cassette:

      Your typical, solid Shimano cassette, just less expensive. No problem here with shifting, including going uphill with a load. I think the all-steel cogs may last better than some of the high-end Al/Ti cheese that saves an ounce or two (since I haven't worn it out after 2.5 chains so far).

      There are places where you can buy better performance on a bike, but this isn't one of them.

      Comments about Shimano Deore HG-50 9-Speed Cassette:

      I didn't like the shifting on these too much at all. It was finicky on some of the gears at times.

      Also, because of the design, possibly with the steel used and the round spacers (instead of star shaped on some designs), they not only shifted loud with a prominent ping on the larger gears, but also resonated the click of the hub noticeably.

      Went with the HG61, shifted flawlessly, quietly, and no more annoyingly loud clicking from the hub. For for those who like that sound, the HG50 is the ticket.

      I would only recommend this if you're not a very strict buget. But if you can spend a $15 or so more, do it at go with the HG61 or a SRAM offering.
