Shimano Ultegra vs SRAM 1070 cassettes

[Dude Crush]

Hi Guys

 

I've recently jumped on a road bike for the first time but I find that the 11-23 cassette is a bit much for me on the hills. There seems to be a shortage of Ultegra casettes at the moment.

 

I can get the Ultegra 11-25 or SRAM 1070 12-27 now, but would have to wait 3 weeks for the Ultegra 12-27. The rest of the groupset is Ultegra...

 

What should I do?

Get the Sram 1070 11-26.

Get the Sram 1070 11-26.

 

+1

 

Got one on my bike with Dura Ace and it works well.

Thanks guys...

 

Are there no issues with using the SRAM cassette and Shimano groupset? Seems like people seem to like SRAM products a bit more here...

 

Is the 1070 similar in the range to Ultegra?
