A few weeks back, I reviewed the light, durable, and great value SROAD cassettes for my carbon road bike. The cassettes themselves seemed great, very well constructed using chromoly steel, and SUPER lightweight, compared to a standard Shimano CS-R7000 cassette from a 105 groupset.
However, the shifting was pretty terrible, so I could not recommend them. I was using a Shimano 105 R7000 rear derailleur for the testing, and several people in the comments suggested the newer derailleur style could be causing issues. So I bought myself an older style Ulterga 6800 rear derailleur to test the theory.
The older style Ultegra derailleur offers a much smaller B-Gap throughout the shifting range, and this ultimately appears to have solved the problem. The SROAD cassette now shifts pretty much just as well as Shimano Hyperglide cassettes, so as long as you run the older style rear derailleurs, I have no hesitation recommending them.
