Looks great! I have never heard of the brand myself.
On a side note: I picked up a new Shimano 10 spd cassette (12 to 42t). I believe it is a Deore hyperglide model. Not sure of value (I paid a dollar) or application. I may not have a new enough hub to mount it on unless I can drop a couple cogs and run it on a 8 to 9 spd freehub if compatible. I wanted to build a CX/gravel/hybrid bike with a single front ring and thought this cluster would suffice with a 48t to 50t chainring.

if the splines match you can grind the rivits if need be and customize to suit if need be. I am running a 46t chainring with an 11-32t rear cassette.

I'll take a closer look. I still need a rear derailleur that can handle a 42t cog. I have an grest Sun Tour V-GT Luxe, but I do not think it will suffice for much over 32-34t cogs (which is probably enough for me). I just threw a new 14-28t FW on my "hill" bike and found that the RD could not work with a 28t cog. Had to do my climbing on a 24t which I did (even the Mt.); but slowly and painfully at my age.

you may have to look in to a derailluer hanger extension. I have zero experience with them myself, but they allow you to exceed capacity to use larger gears
