      I use this with a shimano zee mech (FR) and everything shifts flawlessly so far. I'm quite pleased. Not a bad price either.

        Comments about Shimano SLX CS-HG81-10 SP. MTB Cassette:

        Upgraded my shifters so I upgraded my cassette. Seeing I don't get out as much, having the 36t is helping me climb some of those hills.
        Went on with ease using the correct tool.
        Made minor deraler adjustments to accept the extra gear.

            Just what I was looking for. Priced well, shifts well, and has the gear ratio I need. Love the 36T. Perfect for a 1x10.

            First off, this thing looks great. The 36T sprocket required some derailluer adjusting but the shifts are smooth and the gear ratios are great with my 32 ring up front.

              Comments about Shimano SLX CS-HG81-10 SP. MTB Cassette:

              The SLX cassette is only a few grams more than the XT model as it keeps the big gears that count on a spider. While the XT model isn't much more, I doubt you could possibly notice the difference so you can't go wrong with this. It shifts as good as the XT and you know it will last.

                  Well made, fits well on the freehub. Went on with no alterations. I had to replace the "D" screw on the rear derailleur, to get it to work on the 34 tooth cog. (Dura-Ace long cage rear)

                  Riding the mountains of Colorado with my wife, and this will get us up 20% + grades.
