I have a new Sunrace MX3 10 sp cassette that has one missing rivet in the last three cogs. I contacted Sunrace and they sent a replacement. They have great customer service!
I have the defective cass and thinking I will use it on a spare wheelset. I don't think this is cause for any concern? Thoughts?

I doubt you'd have a problem with it. Don't know what the rivet diameter is but you might be able to put a pop rivet in it pretty easily. Easy to peen a solid rivet in too, if you can come up with the right diameter and length.

I wouldn't use it to climb Ventoux, but agreed...should be Ok.

I would be a little concerned using the sprockets as-is. The cogs, large diameter and cut away, might bend due to chain angle and side-loading. Not a disaster but it could affect a ride.
