Miss WhiteNot worth paying the extra for ultegra this is great!!
Dr ReesBought as a casette for my smart trainer. Works fine.
Mr HussainHQ designed that works well with ultegra chain, been testing it so far so good. Smooth gear changing.
Mr Upeguigood deals
Mr MatuteI just put an 11-25 version of this cassette on a bike and it shifted really nicely. Picking up an 11-28 for another.
Mr LearnerI picked this up on sale for a new build and wow is it nice; much smoother shifting than an HG-500. I've always gone low-end on cassettes but this has changed my mind. I've already bought another.
Mr BruntBest value for those of us still running 10 speed. Flawless shifting.
SimonExactly what you'd expect for a Shimano cassette, good hardwearing and smooth running.
Mr CollinsGood value for money, don't bother with the dura ace stuff which is overpriced tosh. Get this instead and spend the rest of money on beer
AlannGreat cassette and perfect shifting with the gears ratios.
BrianBought one for use on an older 10 speed bike and another as a spare. Does exactly what I need to do and don't see the point in the extra expense of buying Ultegra. You would never know the difference anyway!
Mr GriffithsDelivery was prompt and the price was very competetive. Fitted with no issues. Original parts had 9,500 miles ridden. Shows the quality of the 105's. Regular rider to work.
Mr BullettProduct sound. Needed a bit of spacer fiddling to fit my 11sd ready wheels but no real issues.
Mr AllenShimano products always deliver - tried and true. This cassette provides the range of gears I need.
Mr MCGANNA great cassette and well worth the money.
Mr BergsmaGreat quality and so much cheaper than ultegra
IgorThis cassette will lasts forever, using with right chain and lubes, there's no way to use this and get problems. Just check if you need the 11-25, 11-28 or other....
Mr ElstobUpgraded from an 11-25 to this 11-28 and can honestly say it feels like I've grown a new lung! The quality is also much better than my stock cassette, which was possible a Tiagra or equivalent. Definitely recommend this cassette. Looks nice, too.
NeilUsual great quality cassette from Shimano giving great shift performance.
Mr GirvanBought for my winter bike. Reliable cassette at a good price.
Mr TalbotUse it for commuter/training bikes. Must have had about 5 over the years by now. Always impressed with the durability/performance. Don't let anyone talk you into buying Durace... 105 is where its at...
RobGreat Shimano quality. Glad to get my hands on the less common 12-27 variant.
Merlin deliver promptly and cassette was a good price.
AnacondaQuiet operation and smooth shifting
Mr WalkerAs always with Shimano products you can be assured of a quality product. The 105 cassette is cheaper than the Ultegra but delivers the same crisp shifting action. Recommended.
Mr BruntGood price for a high quality cassette. Sticking to 10 speed as it's good enough for a non-racer and cheaper to replace.
Mr BowmanA bit heavier than the Ultegra, but functionally just as good. Good price and spedy delivery from Merlin.
AndréShiny. Smooth. It just works. Love it.
Mr BrayValue for weight 10 speed cassette. Used on my cyclocross bike. Nice quality cassette.
Mr BryceGood replacement part. Light with slick shifting.
JedAs you would expect from shimano smooth gear change and the chain runs very quiet on the cassette
Mr WilsonGreat product at a great price. This product is easy to install and lasts a long time.
Mr GauntlettGreat value and hard wearing cassette
Mr DGood quality, great price 10 speed cassette. Shifts so smoothly I can barely tell I shifted! Just make sure to get a 10 speed chain if you don't have one already.
PlaneGreat Value. Long life
Sam MReplaced an old Ultegra cassette, quality is just as good with the slightest of weight penalties, and loads cheaper - fantastic!
Mr StewartI use this cassette with Sram drivetrain and KMC X10-93 chain, works perfectly!
Mr BoroughsInexpensive, works perfect. Can't imagine needing anything else.
IanThe cassette works well and is good value for the money. I was happy to see that it came with the spacer needed if you want to install it on an 11 speed hub (which I did).
Mr KnealeLighter and better finished than the 11-25t tiagra cassette it replaced. 28t definitely has me spinning up the steep hills better.
Mr FowlerThis was my only option in order to have a 10sp 12-27 cassette and it has performed admirably.
BoromedicSeems light and well made like most Shimano gear, gear changes are smooth and problem free. Slight upgrade from the previous Tiagra one I had and worth the money, I know everyone has gone 11sp now, but I'm quite happy sticking with 10!
Mr PolanskyGreat Cassette, and you can't beat the price. I'm running the 11-28 with compact cranks and have no trouble with even the steepest hills, and can also pedal through at really high speeds. The only issue is that only the biggest 3 cogs are attached and all the others are separate pieces. I have had the splines dig into my aluminum freehub body, but with a heavy duty freehub, this is not an issue.
Mr LougheadComes with 1 spacer, fits my 11 speed 3T wheelset with no issues (the wheels have the other spacer needed). Shifts great offers me that extra low 11 tooth gear, great for races with a good tail wind.
Mr SullivanSlight downgrade from the rest of my ultegra set up but all good and no difference in shifting
Mr KopaszThis 105 rips across the plains and climbs like a mtn goat. Light, durable and silky shifting. I have toured 105 many a mile and this cassette does not disappoint!
Old geezerI wanted this to go with my Ultegra triple chainset, Shimano don't seem to do a 12-27 cassette in Ultegra and the narrower gaps compared to a 11-28 suit me better.
Seems to be identical in quality and weight except for the shiny Ultegra spacers.
Recommended for Ultegra drivechains.
Mr ShawHave 3 of these already, I didn't hesitate on buying another especially at the price offered. Arrived the following day after ordered. Good product. Great service.
Mr PiaiUnless you are after the lightest kit for racing, this cassette will fit perfectly. Great price, great performance!
Mr RoweGenuine Shimano Product, works as good as Ultegra. Only difference is it doesn't have the shiny spacers.
ARExcellent cassette. Light, no noticeable difference from the ultegra it replaced
Mr PorterThis is my second 105 cassette, after 3 chains and about 8k miles, I happily got another at a good price.
Mr ClementsJust what I needed. Great wide range on the cassette. I'm not the fittest of riders but having the wide range makes the steeper hills possible now. Easy to fit and good quality. .
Mr SandersonBought this to replace the 11-25 cassette that came on my Felt F75 as I have some very steep hills locally. Works a treat; gives me an extra low gear without changing any of the other gears.
Delivery from Merlin's was flawless as usual.
Mr JaunceBought this as alternative to my 11-25 as didn't think that set up would be conducive to mountain riding. Haven't tested the cassette yet, but my original 105 cassette is still going strong and shifts superbly so don't foresee any problems once fitted.
Mr Earl105, smooth, dependable and cheap. The higher spec groups wont make you any faster, they just lighten your wallet.
Mr GreenbergQuality Shimano piece. Best bang for buck on 11-28 cassettes. Much lighter than Tiagra and much cheaper than Ultegra. Combined with a compact crank, this is perfect for hilly Southern California.
Mr ClarkDurable, crisp, inexpensive, and virtually foolproof. What's not to like?
Mr MatchuraThis cassette in 11-25 was purchased for a non climbing wheel I built up. What can I say, it is typical Shimano quality with nothing to really complain about. My climbing wheel has an Ultegra hub and cassette and I honestly cannot tell any difference in shifting. 105 is a workhorse!
John in South CarolinaHaven't installed my new cassette yet, but the original it is to replace has served me very well. 6 years and many 1000s of miles and still shifts well. I love the Shimano 105 10 speed gearing setup.
Mr MidmoreI bought a Sensa Romagna Special from Merlin Cycles nearly 2 years ago. I use the bike for my daily commute & now - some 6.5K miles later - things unsurprisingly have worn-out. Love the bike, so I have treated it to some new Shimano 105 parts. Now as good as new. Thank you Merlin Cycles for all the good gear together with excellent service.
Mr RICE105 stuff is bulletproof!
DominicBought the bundle with the chain and had forgotten how much difference it makes. Drivetrain feels so much smoother now, almost like a new bike. And insanely quick delivery as usual from Merlin, ordered Sunday evening, delivered Tuesday morning!
Mr TobinFunctional and cost effective. Not the lightest cassette on the market but for training/commute wheels this is perfect.
Mr BurgessThis was brought for my Bournemouth Sportive on 31st May. Having previous done a test ride of the hillier section, I could not get up the steepest hill in one go with my 12-25 cassette and this was achieved with the 12-27 albeit at 6 MPH. Only the largest two sprockets are different so the remaining ratios are the same as my 12-25 and I will stick will this cassette from now on. Definitely recommend.
Mr CardEasy enough to fit, works great, shifts smoothly and quietly - what more could you want?
Mr SenechalReally similar to Ultegra, except few grams. I was looking for a 12-27 to go with my new compact crankset. Everything on my bike is Ultegra, except this. However, I thought it was better to have a good gear (12-27) than going with ultegra and choose between 12-25 and 11-28. 12-25 didn't offer enough possibility for climbing (25 is too low) and 11-28, the 11 is useless and losing a crucial gear like the 16 (step from 15 to 17) was not a good idea to maintain cadence on an Ironman.
Miss RibeiroResistant and reliable. I use this cassette with Sram group components and it works perfectly.
Mr GilbertNice Quality item, smooth as silk with a complete 105 5700 setup
Mr GowanMy old cassette had been put through a lot of miles without being replaced, after swapping for this (like for like) the bike felt brand new! Also replaced the chain with this too and the shifting on the back block is perfect. The weight difference between this and the Ultegra for my winter bike is negligible. My old cassette had started to slip on gear changes and even sometimes when giving it some welly but not now. The price from Merlin was unbelievably cheap and the delivery even faster. I ordered one afternoon and the next morning it turned up! Ridiculous!
Mr BoothAs usual amazing price and service from Merlin Cycles. High quality cassette, bought to replace a tiara 11-25. The extra teeth on the 28 help on the steeper climbs but still with the 11 for faster straights and downhill. You can feel the difference in the shifting compared to the Tiara. Much crisper.
Mr mckennaI bought this as I wanted to change the ratio I was running to give me an extra gear in the mid range but still have a small enough gear to get up the steep climbs I previously had an ultegra block on but it doesn't come in this ratio and I have to say I've been very impressed, it actually feels smoother changing than the ultegra did and it's cheaper - bonus
MatthewN5I fitted this to make a straighter chain line in the lower gears that I use the most for climbing in the big ring - 19-21-24 - and it has made a difference. It means (marginally) less steep chain angles which means less annoying noise and smoother riding. I didn't need a 28 ring.
Like all Shimano products, shifts are crisp and efficient and 105 quality is fine for daily use.
It's a pity though that 12-27 is no longer made in Ultegra though.
Mr warrenAs I am an old bloke (within touching distance of 50) I really appreciate the extra teeth on the top couple of rings to help me up those hills. Really simple to fit with the right tools.....very happy indeed...
Mr GrantGreat Cassette. Easy to install. Gear changes are much smoother now.
For the price, you can't go past this 10 speed cassette.
Mr CorrI think this is a great cassette. It works nicely on my bike. Merlin did great as usual and it arrived super quick.
Mr LeonardPurchased as a replacement for existing cassette. Typical Shimano high quality.
Mr BainBought this due to being a good price for my daily bike. Shifts well and no problems. No point in spending lots of money on a consumable product that is used in all weathers.
Mr LyallGood quality cassette at a decent price
Mr QueirosGood. Smooth gear changes.
Mr CatherallNice wide ratio for them hilly rides.
Mr Hammond105 seems to be very close to Ultegra on performance; bit heavy and chrome-style shiny but still excellent value for money. Shifting is great looks like it will certainly last well. Being used on a training wheel for turbo trainer, which is the ideal use at this cost.
Mr boothProduct was delivered quickly and as described, was also a very good price compared to other suppliers.
BradVery good cassette at a reasonable price.
Mr JefferyBrilliant product, good price and a good company to deal with.
Mr edisonGreat price and superb delivery
JimSolid and reliable as you would expect from Shimano, great value from Merlin
Mr ClumpusI bought this as ultegra doesn't have the 12-27 anymore. This is just as good as the old ultegra and a fair bit cheaper than the new ultegra.
Mr BeanExcellent quality and value as expected
Mr CheshireGreat cassette , super quiet, smooth when gear changing , good value
Mr greenwayUsual Shimano quality as expected, nice wide spread of ratios for general purpose riding.
Mr WhiteOut of the box and onto the splined hub. No problem. a quick heave ho with the torque wrench to the recommended torque and fitted to the bike. Checked the chain length and ready to go. Have been told to leave the new chain as lubed from the box until it actually needs lube and that's it. Smooth and quiet it is and a reasuring click from the freewheel.
Mr LoganAll round great service - great price, fast delivery and item exactly as expected. In my top 10 good suppliers
Mr BusbyGreat piece of kit
Mr OliveiraVery good product, fast ship to Brazil, excellent store I recommend !
Mr maygood product reasonable price very quick delivery,
WurzleThe whole process...Faultless
Mr HouriganSlightly heavier than the better models but hard wearing and ideal for my winter training
Mr endoI upgrade from 9-speed to 10-speed, changing the triple crank to double one. That causes me to change everything. I must have spent more money, but here "Merlin" gave me good prices. Thanks so much, Merlin!! Next time again I will definitely come and buy some, I swear. I was lucky I found this nice internet shopping. Thanks.
Mr WoodsExcellent qualitybranded item at a really good price, can't go wrong. Usual reliable service.
MarkGreat product, as described. Fast delivery as well.
FekkeNot the lightest but probably one of the hardest to wear out!? Reccommend it!
Mr EastonBought to replace my prevoius 105 cassette. Shifting was great before, and is still with the new cassette (expected). I believe this to be great value for money as my previous cassette lasted for 2 years before, so for
CDaviesLike for like replacement. Really easy to fit, a little tweaking on the indexing and have now got a much slicker gear change. Recently tackled some horrible hills and grinded through the gears with no problems.
Mr GomesProduct came fast and exactly as described along with the manual. Quality shimano item. Very nice purchase at merlin cycles. Recommended.
Mr WrenGreat cassette with solid gear changes. I have 105 and Ultegra and can hardly notice the difference. Rapid delivery by Merlin!
Mr MuddimanPurchased this cassette to go on a set of new lightweight wheels so I could have winter/summer set of wheels as usual top quality Shimano 105 cassette straight forward fitting with right tools .Shifting performance up and down the cassette perfectly indexed and crisp..
Mr WeaverI have just converted over to a compact chain set after spending many years riding a triple. It works like a dream, I wished that I had done it years ago to be honest!
I just wish that Ultegra did the same ratio?
Quality product and quality service, it doesn't get much better does it?
LeePurchased with LeMond Revolution trainer, 12-25. Durable cassette and good price.
Mr WoodsVery lightweight and reliable piece of equipment. My son is building his "dream bike" but within a sensible budget so this weight and price are perfect for that project.
Dr BeckettGreat product, great price, fast delivery. Happy customer.
Mr IsaacI bought this product to make my hill climbing a little easier on long rides as I have a 12-25 on my bike at the moment, andI found found the recent Dragon Ride very tough on the hills. Excellent product but more importantly Melin was the best price on the web, and the service was outstanding. A brand new cassette for
Mr BiglandsEasy to build and substantial
Mr wallaceproduct met expectations at a competitive price
Mr grahamSuper fast delivery and well packaged at a great price, Merlin leading where others follow.
Mr DrysdaleQuality cassette - easy to fit and works a treat. Usual fast service and great prices from Merlin. Very happy.
Mrs KUNThe gear changes are noticeably quicker and more seamless, so much so that sometimes i had to look down to make sure the had chain moved!
Mr townleya good quality cassete that looks good and works precicely as it should, just what you would expect from shimano
Mr EddyI chose the Shimano 105 5700 10 speed cassette with the 28-11 rings to give me the best of both climbing and speed gearing's as I mainly train on wold's, I am very pleased with the cassette and would recomend it to all but the top end athletes among you.
The only down side of the particular gearing I chose (28-11) compared to my previouse cassette 25-12 is that the gear jump into some gears are noticable and it can disrupt cadance when on climbs etc, but still not bad for such a large spread of gears!
Recomended!!
ChrisUsual Shimano quality - work so smoothly, more so than SRAM equivalents in my experience, and last well.
Mr NgaiIMO the casette feels smoother compared to my tiagra casette and shifting is improved, you can buy ultegra or duraace but bang for buck, this is a good investment
Mr MogerNice & shiny, good price, will buy from Merlin again.
Mr croppshimano quality what can one say, good balance between weight/cost/wear
Mr GaddAbout 25% cheaper than the nearest I could find on the Internet, delivered quickly and as always with merlin, a no hassle, very competitive purchase. Thanks.
BenGood quality shimano equipment.
Mr smythGood value casette with dinner plate 27 cog for a 20% climb
Great price and usual high standard customer service
Mr HUse if on my training wheels. Very good cassette and good value.
Mr brighamReally good value - not just cheap but very good too. My first one has done over 2000 miles and still going strong. I got a spare from Merlin at a super-low price so that when I am ready to change, I am good to go. Really smooth shifting - why pay more?
Louise MackOutstanding online bike shop. Great value goods. Easy to use website, great customer service and extremely quick delivery.
