No-name 11-40 9 speed cassettes

On paper this is something I want to get for my son's bike (2010 trance x w 26" wheels)

I'm seeing them only made by no name companies like Ztto and Litetop. I'm sure they arent as smooth or light as a shimano or sram offering but curious if anyone has any first hand experience with them.

Look at Sunrace cassettes. They make wide range 9 speed. And they make good stuff
Try
Sunrace csm980 or Sunrace csm990

Thanks man. Yep I see those sunrace cassettes and they're not much more money for a more reliable company. I'll grab one (and probably a new longer chain since he's going from a 34t granny to a 40t) and hopefully the shifts won't be too ugly.

maybe just post up to see if anyone has one laying around
9 spd is like 26 wheels, with one foot in the grave, I would look, but pretty sure my stash went to 2nd Life Bikes earlier this year

i put one on the fatbike this year. worked fine, didn't feel like a boat anchor.
i did buy the derailleur extension link.

Does it require a clutch derailleur or just the extension link?

just the extension link was fine. even the b-screw was long enough with the link.

There's no relation, the extension provides sufficient clearance for the larger cogs the derailleur was not designed to take
