This is a great set-up. Smaller cogs are identical to the 11-34t cassette and the three larger cogs gives great range for climbing or people who are not as powerful. Thank you for the set-up video!

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

I'm used to 50/34 with 11-34 for the hills round me. Just ordered a new bike with 52/36 with 11/30. Was worried about getting up them hills but now I know an can get a granny gear fitted at some time I'm reassured thankyou

[@Yonok2009]

I tried 11-36 with a spacer on a compact chain ring and it couldn’t reach the 36t Now I know I do need a longer chain as reckoned Thanks for this tip I always like your videos Thanks and keep up the good work

[@howardbrouwer7463]

I run Shram 11/36 on Shimano Di2 with 50/34 crankset, it needed zero adjustments

[@floatingvoter8618]

Great video, well explained spacer and B screw adjustment. These top tips are very welcome for us folks who are still keen to learn about bike mechanics 👍🏼

Great video! I am looking to duplicate this exact setup on my Canyon Endurace. I'm putting together an off-road/gravel setup and the 40 tooth will come in handy for our steep fireroads!

[@germanhugger41]

Great video... I just wish Shimano would manufacturer cassettes with mid compact chainset appropriate ratios... such as 13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25-28-32-36

[@sdqsdq6274]

hmmm do we even use all the rear gears ? seem like we are paying xtra , lol

[@hansschotterradler3772]

mid compact crank with 11-28 cassette is what pros use; it's insane for us weekend warriors. I myself just roll down the steeper hills, no need to pedal IMO. I have seen someone on youtube combining a 14-28 cassette with an 11-40 cassette. I'm thinking to do that on my road bike.

[@howardbrouwer7463]

Shram works on shimano as I run shram 11/36 on shimano di2

[@koukimonzta]

Fantastic ! Thank you very much !

[@wtywatoad]

Great to know. I just bought a Deore 9 speed, long cage rear for my new 10 speed, Tiagra equipped gravel bike, with a stock 50/36 compact crankset, and a 11-32 cassette. I should be able to jump up to an 11-36, 10 speed Deore cassette with ease. If anyone is curious why I chose a Deore 9 speed long cage derailleur, it's because it's a unique outlier for a MTB rear derailleur, that has a rate of pull which is compatible with all Shimano road STI shifters.

[@EasyTigerSaurus]

why u wont go for sora 9 speed brakeshifter instead of tiagra 10 speed to work with 9 speed deore RD?

[@marekmarkowski9571]

Proper for vertical climbs

[@jrnhoy]

Great video… exactly what need coz’ I’ve been thinking of putting a 11-34 to my 105 gs set up from 11-30 cassette and maybe someday also put 11-40… thumbs up 👍

[@pierrex3226]

I don't understand, how come 40t fits, although Shimano says 34t max?

[@joseflorez9966]

Guaauuu, Great vídeo

[@goalingkungfu]

Hello, may I ask the spacer that you use at the sprocket. Is it the same spacer that usually used for 10 speed? (1.8mm thickness?)

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes 1.8mm spacer!

[@ArdGeal]

Better going back to a triple chainset with a smaller, lighter close ratio (ie 11-28)cassette at the back!!

[@imdarrenm]

Great video. May I ask if it’s possible for MTB hybrid setup, 9speed 50-34T crankset and 11-36T cassette, and what chain should I use?

[@jlindell6532]

cheers

[@cap1088]

Se puede hacer lo mismo con un cambio trasero 105 R7000?

[@aaronw5938]

Great video again! Would a R7000 or R8000 rear derailleur work with perhaps a 11-46t cassette or larger even with a RoadLink?

[@hmcps89]

It’s best to switch to A GRX derailleur and go from there. R8000 and r7000 is limited up to 34. So 40 is really already pushing it.

[@HIGHVILLELAUNCHER]

@@hmcps89 what about doing the 52/36 11-40 with the gsx 810 rear mech?

[@harshilavventurebikes4685]

Hi i have 52/36 front Ultegra R8000 crank with 11/28 cassette in rear with SRAM Etap 11 speed RD it's Standard short cage version want to have 11-34 or 11-32 atleast for better hill climbing. Let me know will just b tension screw and longer chain swap will work or do I need Roadlink wolftooth or similar. Thank you

[@Justin-xf2nc]

Thanks for this! Would an 11-42 cassette work on a shimano gs Road deraileur if running 1x?

[@Tchairdjian]

Yes. I even use it in a x2 System. But mine has a compact chain 34/50T. I've been using the new Roadlink DM (designed for the new 7000, 8000 and 9000 Shimano RD) on mine as it gives me another 1/2" length on the Derailleur link... $30 well spent...

[@denis_roy_7]

Dick Tchairdjian Thank you for the info!

[@trevekneebone369]

@@Tchairdjian I've successfully done this with an 11-40 cassette. Works perfectly.

[@trevekneebone369]

Ps: A lot of people say that you don't need the Roadlink for an 11-40 cassette, but it's probably recommended for 11-42 or more.

[@daviddalisay947]

TRY 11X40 TO 53X39

[@henryangus6934]

Excellent video with clear and detailed explanations! Would the Ultegra GS derailleur work with a 11-42t? I’ve got a Ultegra RD-6700 GS Di2 currently running a 11-34t cassette. Thanks

[@_Mr_Blackmagic]

Yes, works perfectly.

[@Tuffjobs]

Looks horrible, but probably needed for steep hills 😊

[@sdqsdq6274]

does this fit on a mtb ?

[@HIGHVILLELAUNCHER]

Will 52/36 11-40 work with the GRX 810 rear mech or will I have to get ultegra? Thank you!

[@HarishChouhan]

GRX 810 rear mech is 11 speed so will work the same way but there are different sizes of the mech, so you might need to test out.

[@ericmarcus_]

HI!Will 53/34 work with 11-34 cassete?

[@FreeToCycle]

[@FloridaBikeVlogger]

yo. so would a 50/36t work?

[@pierrex3226]

If 40t works, then 36t works

[@felleritaly1903]

Io ho 52-36 e 11-32
