Pretty easy to spend $40 and get a new rear cassette with a bigger granny gear. Also SRAM did just come out with some pretty slick twist shifters. I wouldn't know though I run a SS.

Except that $40 cassettes double well as boat anchors. Bleh...

True to some degree though the weight difference between a $40 cassete and a $100 is pretty minimal. It's only 60 grams between the $100 xt and the SRAM pg970 at $45.

I don't worry about it cause I run just one cog back there. But have run the cheaper SRAM pg cassette for a year on my other bike with no issues.
