PjT Posted February 18, 2019 Share 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.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 18, 2019 Share Do it, and yes it can. Just put it on the outer side inner side of the crank, and put a couple spacers (included with most single rings) on it to put the chainline more towards the centre.

PjT Posted February 18, 2019 Share Thanks for the quick reply Captain. That sound like it can work - and just what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABrooks Posted February 18, 2019 Share I was considering it as well, read some posts and searched the interwebs. Apparantly you might need a "goat-link" to be able to run such a big cassette, I also read of people getting away with just a longer b-tension screw. Someone will hopefully shed some light on this.

PjT Posted February 18, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnavel Posted February 18, 2019 Share Thx for response. Are you on a 1x11 / 1x12 now? and if I may ask, why did you leave the 10's behind? I went from a 1x10 shimano bike (36T front and 11/42 sunrace) to a SRAM 1x11 system (34T front and 10/42 rear). While the 1x10 system works perfectly, the shifting is nowhere near as smooth as the 11 speed. The 11 speed was designed as a 1x system, where as the 10 speed was decided to run 2x. Of course, the 11 speed components are generally more expensive and if you go for a SRAM cassette with larger range, you then have the additional cost of the XD driver.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 19, 2019 Share https://forums.mtbr.com/drivetrain-shifters-derailleurs-cranks/sunrace-10-speed-11-46-question-1068621.html Looks like it's a "you can, but shifting isn't great" mainly due to how the upper jockey wheel is situated. Most people are saying that a 42t is the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are saying that a 42t is the max. I have to agree. Ran the 42 for a longtime. Then decided i need to change to 46. Sram med cage does not like the 46t on the cassette and struggles to shift. However a sram long cage will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting mixed feedback.Im running 11-42 on my xo medium cage, and theres no way it will handle a bigger cog. Not sure how the goat link will change that though.
