any good ?
It's heavy, but lasts forever. I have an 11-30 and that weighs in at about 350gms, but it's been on various bikes for nearly 3 years, and seen off two chains...
 
I have an unused sram pg850 in 11 32 ratio you can have for £15 posted. I don't think it is much heavier than say the eqv xt 737 cassette, sram states it weighs between 250 and 280g.

I bought one of these last week to go on a bike with 8sp Gripshift and a PC-850 chain. For some reason, it just won't sit on the 11 sprocket comfortably, and jumps if I pedal hard. The chain is brand new. I'm sure these cassettes are fine, but my bike just won't get on with it. Bizarely, the ratio goes 11,13,15, 17 and so on, so I'm now looking for a 12 tooth 8sp outer sprocket...as I know it worked fine with a 12 before.

11 tooth is fine, been using 11tooth since the early 90's

IF it's jumping it could be something else. did you alter the mech stops again when you fitted the new cassette?
The jump may be it trying to change back in to 6th ? as the stop is not letting it sit in position fully.
