Ryant Posted November 16, 2017 Share Good Day, I was thinking of upgrading to a 1x11 set up using the Sunrace 11-50 Cassette.I am looking for any thoughts, suggestions, ideas or experience on what rear derailleur would best work with the gear range on that cassette?

Wannabe Posted November 16, 2017 Share What derailer do you have at present? Any long cage 11spd clutch derailer will work, you will just have to adjust your "B" screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryant Posted November 16, 2017 Share I currently have a XT 10 speed derailleur. I see Shimano state that the maximum sprocket size on their 11 speed derailleur is a 46 T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintSauce Posted November 16, 2017 Share From what I've read it appears the Shimano 11 speed derailleurs do work with the Sunrace 11-50 cassette. Another poster asked the same question some time ago regarding upgrading to 11-46 and ended up going 11-50 with no issues. Do a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted November 16, 2017 Share Have a SRAM XX with Sunrace 11-50. Works 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solty Posted November 16, 2017 Share I don't have this setup, but when I asked the guys at evobikes about the 11-50 casette they said that if you have the medium cage Shimano "GS" derailleur (like the current M8000 XT) then you'll need an extender thingamajig for the derailleur hanger. Like Wolftooth's Goatlink. Check evobikes.co.za Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rud1vF Posted November 16, 2017 Share I have just fitted the Sunrace 11-50 cassette and my Shimano XT 11 speed long cage derailleur is at the limit of the B-screw adjustment. With only about 10km of use its early days but the shifting is smooth and precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerouc Posted November 17, 2017 Share I currently have a XT 10 speed derailleur. I see Shimano state that the maximum sprocket size on their 11 speed derailleur is a 46 T Because they only make a cassette to 46T, they wont promote the competition.

droo Posted November 20, 2017 Share Because they only make a cassette to 46T, they wont promote the competition. More like they don't want to be held responsible for components failing or not working properly when pushed past their design parameters...
