11-40t 10 speed??

[Mongooser]

been looking at group-sets

i see most 10 speed rear mechs can max 11-36t cassettes 

but theres 11-40t  10speed cassettes?is there some sort of adapter to increase they're range?

id rather then go 10sp with a 11-40 then 11sp with 11-42

I ran my Shimano XT long cage clutch rear mech with a 10 speed 11-42 cassette with no issues.

 

If you order from Kiwi (Rapide), you can get the above-mentioned 11-42 and a spare b-screw for about R1300. The b-screw allows you to control where your mech will shift to, allowing you to run a 40 or 42.

I've never tried anything bigger than the 11-36 I have. Opted to get a 24 chain ring (26 present). Main reason for this option was more because I don't like the big change in cadence when the gaps between gears are too big.

 

Like the Kiwi option. His got some great options available.

Ditto on the Sunrace 11-42

Works beautifully!

Yes see below.

If you're looking at groups don't bother with 11 speed unless its 11-46.

10 speed is cheaper and comes in 11-40/42 as well.

Got a Sunrace 11 - 42 with a 30 up front. 10 speed GX and it's faultless. Just upgraded my other bike to 1 x 11 XT, again with a sunrace and 11 - 46. Haven't tested it yet but should be fun.

I was fortunate enough to get a new bike last week and it has an XT 1x11 groupo; I'm running a 32 up front with 11-46 at the back and that 46 is a strange beast! Finding it rather difficult to get used to.

Literally just got a sunrace 11-42 for 800 from Cwc. Using a medium cage slx derailer and works perfectly. Single ring up front of course.

i run a 1x10 11/42 with no issues. Sram X9 type 2 deraileur manages fine, med cage

Congrats on the new ride. That 46 does look MASSIVE! Also the jump seems to be fairly large across those last cogs as well. What issues are you having?

 

I did see that Evo bikes have a Sunrace running 11 - 50 as well. That looks a beast! Ratio is: 11-13-15-18-21-24-28-32-36-42-50

Thanks! Yes it is a hearty jump up, and I guess I'm just not used to spinning that much! But as with all changes, I'll get used to it and I am 100% sure I will be thanking my lucky stars (and the LBS) when I'm tackling Merino Monster during Tankwa Trek, next year.

I bought an 11-40 10-speed from Evobikes.

 

They also have 11-42 in 10 speed.  11-42 is much more readily available.

 

 

No adaptors required.  Straight swop, and then a quick re-adjustment of the rear derailure and the B-screw on the rear derailure.

 

 

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mongooser]

will my 10speed ZEE work thats 11-36 compatible?

its a shortcage

Have a 10 speed 11/42 Sunrace cassette with XO 10 speed rear deraileur (X9 trigger shifter) and 34 wide narrow (direct mount) up front on my hard tail.

 

Only tested it around the block yet, but felt just as smooth as the 11 speed GX on my dual.
