10spd 11-46 upgrade

Mawbs, are you still happy with this set up? I'm looking to do exactly the same but with a XTR986 RD. Dotting the i's after some serious googling. 11-42 with a 10 chainring is also an option to give the same granny..

 

yep it's working like a charm ..especially after i put a new cable & housing ...now it's super slick

I'll looking at doing the exact same thing: 10x 11-46 Sunrace cassette and a 34 absolute black oval upfront and then getting the Goatlink 11 so the xt 786 derailleur will work.  How's the shifting?  Any issues?  Also where did you get that cassette at that price?  Did you need a longer B-screw as well?  Seems a nice solution for both more top and bottom end. Is your rear derailleur long or medium cage?

 

shifting is perfect no issues . i already had the longer Bscrew before when i had 11-42 ...YA that price it was on SALE @ Summit bikes ( seems like a once off deal )  i think the 786 is a long cage
