Shimano ctf 12 speed cassette worn out in 4 month’s

What’s the most hard wearing replacement for the above with microspline fitting. They appear to be made of cheese. Thanks in advance

probably SLX or deore 12 speed. XT and XTR trade weight for durability.

time is kind of irrelevant here - how many km's or miles have you done and in what conditions? How many chains did you go through?

If it's a daily rider, I'd say 4 months is pretty good actually. I seldom get any drivetrain parts to last longer than that.

Thanks for the reply’s.I have done 520 miles. Most of it in the dry then about 3 rides of wet surrey hills sand finished it off. It’s just my last sram cassette in similar conditions lasted about a year

For those conditions I'd agree 520 is not great. But is it acting up?

It skips on 3 or 4 of the gears and they look worn

Well there it is, sand is nasty!

Not much, do you usually ride with turbo? Asking this, because I have ridden my mtb over 1500 km and it's still fine.

No I don’t and the Sram set up on my other bike which lasted year is with a chipped motor so had a much tougher time.
Probably bad luck recon I will go slx as at least it’s cheaper

I'm up to 2,200 kms; same chain. I've been using wax though, which has made a profound difference as far as chain stretch goes. I don't think wax is any good when it's wet. I've ridden it all winter with light mud and some water on track. I mostly use eco too - lots of climbing and descending - not much flat stuff, but I'm not a hard rider.

Cassette is mostly irrelevant, it’s the chain that wears and then ruins the cassette.

What chain are you using? It has probably stretched. XTR is the most durable chain.

Only difference with SLX and deore cassettes is the bigger sprockets which I doubt are the problem here.

I tend to wear the outer ring the most. My SLXs outer ring is aluminum, so next time Im gonna try a Deore Cassette, with an XTR Chain
