200 points isn't it for cat1 ? I would agree that Rich is capable but it takes a lot to gather those and bearing in mind that at cat 2 you are often racing against 1's and elites.

It seems in shimano you have to go to dura ace to get that cassette, is the BBB much cheaper option any good?[/quote]

No cos it's heavier 😉. Have you tried SRAM.
I have tried cheaper cassettes for cyclocross but they've been a bit rubbish. Not bbb mind.

Used to use a similar product in motorcycle enduro. Called a mousse they were a devil to fit, twice the price of the tyre and needed replacing fairly often. That said no **flat**s of course. When they became worn they made the handling somewhat unpredictable.
