Derailleur Capacity: What Fits 11-46T Cassette?

[@RichElReparador]

Great video!, love the explanation (and the editing as well!), thanks for sharing

[@cgfootman]

Great video. The best I've found on this subject so far 👍

[@BrianRPaterson]

Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for! I have an old Dura Ace rear derailleur and 11-32 cassette, and a 30T chainring, with a nice and simple bar- end shifter. But, I need better gears to save my knees on the steeper climbs. Im hoping I can just add a hanger extender an swap out the cassette. Otherwise I'll have to get a new derailleur, cassette, and might as well get a new shifter to run it. in which case, it'd make better sense to switch to an 11 speed Deore set up. I'll measure my cage and, hopefully it'll be 85mm or longer. Thanks very much for the detailed video. Cheers Live long and keep pedalling!

I used a 11-46 Sunrace 10 speed cassette for xc racing for 5 years.. The Shimano 786 Deore XT rear derailleur will work just fine. It never malfunctioned in years of riding and racing

Thanks very much for the video, really clear. helped me a lot.

[@nitibonginglisero4228]

a long hanger would suffice maybe for short cages. and 32t front crank.

Thanks mate that’s just what I wanted to know. You have earned a sub.

[@osmankhalid2005]

What should be the chain length in this case as this chain seems to be short

[@augustobriones4316]

Nice video and well explained, thank you !😊💪✌️👌😎

I have the AdventX 11-48t. 36t chainring. That will climb any hill, but you can't pedal down steep hills. Instead of skipping 4t between cogs, i wish they skipped 5t. I'd rather have more range than closer gears. 44t chainring with 11-56t cassette would've been better. I hope MicroShift offers an alternative cassette with 500% range.

Excellent!

Hello, I have a question about the last derailleur you tested, the shimano deore xt, is it possible to fit it on a 11-50 cassette with the amount of clearance it has?

[@DanyoSports]

Hi, yes, it should fit: Wide Range Drivetrain: 9-Speed 11-50T Cassette kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIm0i2WdgNxql6s

[@GiubertDiLapi]

hi mate! hope you are doing great. I have exactly the same Deore XT derailleur, I want to know based on your experience if is possible to put a 10 speed cassette 11-42 or you only can put a 9 speed cassette there? also I want to know if reducing the cassette teeth, can I upgrade to a 34 o 36 tooth in the front? Thanks for this video, hope you answer me to make my changes!

[@FishingFosterr]

Do you think that my sram x9 will work with a 46t cassette and 32t chainring

[@jacekhes-g2d]

Will Works 11-46 with 38 t chainring together with ltwoo a5?

[@ManiacInTheShed]

Good video 👍

[@TheBassman396]

Thanks very useful info

[@fabioeSeBe]

Hi genius, I have a question. My crown is 42t and I'm trying to fit this cassette 11-46t the question is Would it work with an equal derailleur long box or is the 42t too much?

[@kangmi26]

Would you mind test cheap chinese RD ? for example sensah or ltwoo

[@n_ex___]

i have 11-46 but i want to have bigger drive train what do i do? do i need to change my spracket?

[@juketreks2192]

Would love to see a video showing the installation of a rear derailleur, and how to connect the shifter to the derailleur. Lots of videos show how to adjust the derailleur but haven’t seen a good one that shows how to initially install the components and connect the cable with correct position of derailleur from the 10t to the 46t. Without that, adjusting the rear derailleur is like replacing the toilet seat when the toilet doesn’t flush. It won’t work. Thanks.

[@samteks125]

Installation instructions come with the components. You'll probably find them on the manufacturer's websites (Shimano, SRAM etc.) if you bought your components second-hand. Otherwise, I'd recommend visiting your local library to get a book covering bicycle mechanics' basics.

[@juketreks2192]

@@samteks125 thanks, but like I said, I would love to see a Video.

[@ervingangan2782]

your chain is too short

[@hardtailad5618]

Agree. The cage must be almost horizontal on the 11t cog.
