Product Details

Overview & PowerGlide II Technology

SRAM's PG-1030 brings reliable, butter-smooth 10-speed shifting to road and cross-country setups. Built around PowerGlide II tooth profiling and a lightweight aluminum cassette spider, the PG-1030 delivers quick, consistent shifts under load while keeping weight and cost in check. The cassette uses hardened steel cogs with a durable nickel-chrome finish for corrosion resistance and extended wear life. Available in three gear ranges (11-28T, 11-32T and 11-36T), the PG-1030 covers everything from fast club rides to hilly training loops, with the 11-36T option weighing approximately 395g.

Key Features & Construction

Materials and build: the PG-1030 pairs stamped steel cogs with an aluminum cassette spider to reduce rotating mass without sacrificing strength where it counts. The nickel-chrome finish on the cogs improves surface hardness and corrosion resistance for longer life in wet and dirty conditions. PowerGlide II tooth profile: optimized tooth shapes and ramping make cross-chaining and indexing quicker and more forgiving. The cassette's design prioritizes fast engagement and smooth transition between gears, reducing chain noise and improving pedaling efficiency.

Fit, Compatibility & Sizing

The PG-1030 is a 10-speed cassette compatible with standard HG-style freehub bodies used by SRAM and Shimano 10-speed hubs. It accepts 10-speed chains and works with most SRAM and Shimano 10-speed derailleurs — just match the cassette range to your derailleur's total capacity and max cog size. Available sprocket combinations are: 11-28T (11-12-13-14-15-17-19-22-25-28), 11-32T (11-12-13-15-17-19-22-25-28-32) and 11-36T (11-13-15-17-19-22-25-28-32-36). The spider material is aluminum and the cogs are steel with a nickel-chrome finish. Shipping dims: 5.8" x 5.6" x 2.4", weight ~0.75 lb (packaged).

Who It's For

The PG-1030 is ideal for riders who want a dependable, cost-effective 10-speed cassette with modern shifting performance. Road riders, cyclocross racers running 10-speed drivetrains and mixed-surface commuters will appreciate the balance of low weight, long life and smooth shifts. Choose the 11-28T if you prioritize tight climbing steps and fast group-ride gearing, the 11-32T for a wider climbing range on hilly routes, or the 11-36T if you need extra low gears for steep gradients or loaded rides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SRAM PG-1030 compatible with Shimano freehub bodies?

Yes. The PG-1030 uses the common HG spline and fits standard Shimano/SRAM 10-speed freehub bodies. It mounts like any HG-style cassette; no special adapters are required.

Can I use this cassette with my 11-speed shifter or chain?

No. The PG-1030 is a 10-speed cassette and must be used with a 10-speed chain and 10-speed shifters/derailleur. Mixing 11-speed components will result in poor shifting and drivetrain wear.

Which cassette range should I choose for hilly riding?

For steep or long climbs we recommend the 11-36T option for its lower gears and easier climbing. The 11-32T is a good compromise for mixed terrain, while the 11-28T suits flatter, faster riding and tighter cadence steps.

How durable is the nickel-chrome finish?

The nickel-chrome plating increases surface hardness and resists corrosion, extending cog life in wet or gritty conditions. As with any cassette, life expectancy depends on maintenance, chain wear and riding conditions.

Do I need a special chain or lockring to install the PG-1030?

Use a standard 10-speed chain rated for road or MTB use depending on your application. The cassette installs onto an HG-style freehub with a standard lockring. If your bike originally shipped with an 8/9/10 speed cog assembly you may already have the correct lockring and spacer configuration.

Is the PG-1030 suitable for cyclocross and mixed-surface riding?

Yes. Its robust steel cogs, aluminum spider and PowerGlide II profiling make it resilient and quick-shifting in variable conditions—ideal for cyclocross, gravel-adjacent road riding and commuter use.

Buying Guide

When choosing a 10-speed cassette, match the cassette range to your derailleur's capacity and the type of riding you do. Consider the largest cog your derailleur can handle and ensure your chain length accommodates the range; wider ranges like 11-36T need more derailleur capacity. Also pair the PG-1030 with a new or low-wear 10-speed chain and check that your wheel uses an HG-style freehub spline. If you're upgrading from an older or different-speed drivetrain, review shifter and derailleur compatibility first to avoid mixed-speed issues.
