A custom wear item on a touring bike, no thanks! Stick with the many cassettes already out there. If something does happen I would rather be able to replace with a commonly available part rather than waiting on some specialty parts to build some custom cassette. Now if I was a sponsored racer yeah custom all day every day and my team mechanics can figure out the parts. If I was a casual cyclist or was mostly riding around my area then yeah custom fine but for touring I want known reliable quantities.
