HI Brooks, I contacted Sunrace in USA and Netherlands, and they replied as follows: USA said: "Chain should be OK if it is fairly new and not stretched. Your local shop can check the wear of your chain and advise whether you need a replacement or not. The rear derailleur you need to know which model you have as there is only one model we have tested that works. That is the most recent Shimano RDM-6000GS Deore rear derailleur. SGS will not work." Netherlands didn't say much, just provided me with the following RD Compatibility chart: https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_155050337780314&key=6b590a383d5c8ad74c577b3652ca2031&libId=jsaho1tt010006wf000DA41o5y3ly&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.mtbr.com%2Fdrivetrain-shifters-derailleurs-cranks%2Fsunrace-11-50-cassette-1041601-2.html&v=1&opt=true&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ison-distribution.com%2Fuploads%2Fsunracecompatablitychart.jpg&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.za%2F&title=Sunrace%2011-50%20cassette%20-%20Page%202-%20Mtbr.com&txt=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ison-distribution.com%2Fup...blitychart.jpg I have the GS model, which seems to be compatible. PS. here ae links to pictures of the SGS and GS. Look at the differente shape of the housing where the clutch is located. That is how I identified mine to be a GS. https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/deore-m6000/RD-M6000-SGS.html https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/deore-m6000/RD-M6000-GS.html

Thanks for the quick reply Captain. That sound like it can work - and just what I need.

Hi fellow hubbers, Anybody here that is running the Sunrace 10 speed 11-46T cassette as part of a 1x10 setup?https://www.rapide.co.za/product/sunrace-wide-range-10-speed-cassette-11-46t/ Their range/spacing of gears is alot like the 11speed (where Sunrace and XT are similar): Sunrace 10 speed: 11-13-15-18-----21-24-28-34-40-46 Shimano 11 speed / Sunrace: 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-37-46 I am willing to "sacrifice" the 17+19 split at the bottom to get the 40T up top. Comments welcome! PS.I currently run a Shimano Deore (M6000) 2x10 setup as follows: Shimano XT cassette: 11/42TRace Face cransket: 22/36 I am considering to go 1x10 setup consisting of a Sunrace 10 speed 11/46T cassette, and in front a 32T/34T chainring. Hoping the current Race Face can accommodate single chain ring. Don't ask me which model Race Face crank I have Still have to go and verify that at LBS.
