I've been running 1x8 drive for several years and loved the simplicity, but wanted lower gearing for true mountain bike trips without having to put my granny gear back on. Also, I noticed I was really only using about 4 gears on my local trails.
I matched this cassette up with a 26t NW front ring from Neutrino and a Wolf Tooth Road Link (adapter to let your derailleur shift into that 40t sprocket) both bought off e-bay. You give up a little on gear selection between gears, so you end up riding a little slower or faster than you might want to sometimes to keep a good cadence. But having those really low gear options available at the stab of a thumb and no need to shift up front is great. I selected my front ring size based on getting the same gearing in the middle of the cassette. Now I ride on the mid 4 sprockets on back keeping the chain centered and reducing wear and noise.
The other alternative was to upgrade to an 11 speed system, which meant buying a lot of new components. I may still do that, but for now this is a great set-up for much less money.
Bought this to replace Shimano 11-32 while converting to 1x8 drive. This gives me almost the granny gear I had but with a simpler and cleaner drivetrain. Used with a 32 front, this makes my old legs happy. I did add a goat link to get my Acera to reach the 40. So far no chain drops, but I have a bash ring. Hope this info helps.
Es una buena alternativa, solo cambias el cassette y no inviertes mucho dinero $. Lo recomiendo 100%. La combinación de 11-40t y los intermedios es muy buena tanto para carreras rápidas como para escaladas. Buena duración y buena fabricación
