I’m in the process of swapping the Frame on my bike and I’m also replacing the crankset. Should I replace the cassette? I can’t tell if it’s completely blown out or if it has a couple of seasons of life left in it. Thanks in advance.

If you dont pedal, maybe.
Replace it. You know you should.
Just by glancing, it doesn’t look too bad. There are cassette wear indicators that could tell you for sure, but I haven’t seen them in most shops.

If you replace the crankset you also need to replace cassette and chain
Does it skip? If it doesn’t skip I would say run with it
Shark’s fin soup. New cassette, new chain.
Looks like a lot of shark teeth.
The way to tell if this really toast is to run your finger along the top of the teeth. If you can feel burrs it’s overdue to be replaced.
If a new chain skips it’s toast.
I would replace it. The arcs are already worn and the new chains will slide around it. Difficult to shift the gear as well.
