Description
What makes this cassette special?
Shimano’s Dura-Ace 7700 cassette broke new ground to Shimano’s top tier components. This 9-speed wonder, crafted in the early 2000s, achieved mythical durability thanks to a hybrid genius. The secret? A perfect blend of materials. Larger cogs, the workhorses of the cassette, were forged from titanium for unmatched strength and reduced weight. Smaller cogs, made from steel, kept the cassette affordable while maintaining impressive overall durability. The result? A cassette that shifted flawlessly, shrugged off wear and tear, and became a favorite among cyclists for its seemingly endless lifespan. The 7700 cassette wasn’t just a part, it was a testament to Shimano’s dedication to innovation and quality.
A “corn-cob” is a designation for very special cassette that imbued a cyclist with a reputation of insane leg power. Having very small differences in cog sizing (from small to large) the cassette looks like a corncob. While the benefits to these cassettes are based on the quick, rapid changes to gearing and smooth changes to cadence, this also means that when the bike climbs, the lowest gear does little to help (hence the leg power!)
