My winter bike is 8 speed, and when putting on a new chain a little while back, found that my fav 12-25 sunrace cassette had finally worn out the mid cogs. I should have bought a spare pre covid when they were available and under 20 bucks. Looked around and ended up getting a cheap equivalent by microshift, 11-32 and 20 bucks. As my writer bike, it lives a salty gritty life, so have never wanted to put any nicer more expensive cassettes on this bike.
