Miche Primato (Shimano) cassettes - any good?

[nickAKA]

Morning all - this thing - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/miche-primato-10-speed-cassette-shimano-1/

The 12-29 sounds perfect for me right now for the bit extra in the lower gear, but they get pretty mixed reviews re. fit & quality. Anyone fitted one & can offer a reasonable (balanced) opinion?

Cheers (in anticipation).

Can`t really comment on the Primato cassette but had a chain once and that was fine, Incidently "Planet X" Have a tiagra 10 speed 12-28 on offer at the moment for £15.00

Miche is usually quality gear. I bought my last cassette from Decathlon and its been fine.

Had two Miche cassettes on former bikes, no problems with durability or otherwise. They won't have been high end ones, i think they were part of a Xenon/Miche mixed groupset.
I wouldnt hesitate to buy one personally if the price was right.

I`v just bought an 11 speed Miche Primato (Campagnolo) 12/27 cassette this morning for a new set of Fulcrum 3`s, with a saving of around £25 off the RRP. They seem to get good reveiws with the only real gripe being the weight compared to Campags own cassettes. If you buy it from Treadz you can get an extra £5 off with code ECWJ2R with orders over £30. Its £29.69 for a 10 speed Shim at Treadz so you would have to add something to get the offer. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Miche-Prim...utm_term=1101400114572&utm_content=Cassettes#

My 13yo runs them for racing - no issues so far with his.

I had one about ten years ago and found the shifting a bit rough compared to Campag.

Thanks all, for under £30 can't go too far wrong, ordered.

My 10-speed Campagnolo Chorus gear change is often so smooth that I find myself wondering if it did actually change!

PS I have a stock of Campagnolo cassettes, but I did think about trying Miche once they run out. @nickAKA and @Lilliburlero - let us know how you get on with them.

My 10 speed Campagnolo equipped TT bike has a 12-23 cassette so a 1 tooth difference across most of it and with the gearing so close it's often hard to tell if it has shifted apart from the 'kerchunk-clonk' as the next cog engages the chain.
