I also saw 4600, 4603, 4625 etc...</p> <p>I found via Sheldon's webpage that HG is Hyperglide - a shaping of the teeth to facilitate smoth gear changes, but was unable to find a guide with what each are and how they compare. Of course the price increases but as I like to buy 'middle of the range' components, I have no form of reference. I assume the more expensive the lighter the components, and a freind who broke two different rings on two different cassettes, it also appears the more expensive the kit, the lighter (and perhaps the less robust the components).</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Dave C </p>
