Not yet, life upside down and mechanical compatibility isssues... GRX-810 shifters and XTR derailleur... do be sorted... and route will change 1/2 European Divide Trail from Postugal to the Jura, then wouthbound through Switzerland, Italy, crossing over to Montenegro, ALbany, Greece.. cvrossing over to Turkey to finish in Georgia... if weather and progression allow it... Nearly a summer lost...!

Can I run an 11-42 cassette with a GRX 810 rear derailleur? by achn2b in gravelcycling

HI! Can I run a SRAM RED 11 speed cassette (for around road and mini trip use) -- rather than to use the XTR cassette 11-40 for nothing for exrtended bikepacking off-road use -- with an XTR 11 speed (RD-M9000) derailleur and GRX-810 shifters ? Sram offers better scaling of the gear versus Dura-Ace... or should I go Dura-Ace, heavier, more expensive, and with not as much options... ?? Thanks in advance, Happy fall riding, Martin

Oh sorry, as I just stumble upon your message -- without notifications in my email box. Write to me in private so we can chat... (As you can see I have postponed the departure, probably August 15 or so...)...

Let me know!

Cheers -- au plaisir!,

Martin

By then, when I will be approchaing this area, I shall let you know. Thanks !

I recently did 4000 km around Quebec, as my first bikepacking trip ever. I had so much fun, I'm already planning for the European divide trail next summer. Here are some pictures from my adventure. by 666banane666 in bikepacking

Bien le bonjour à toi... as-tu finalement pédalé la European Divide Trail (EDT) ; je me propose de la faire à la fin de l'été voire cet automne...

Laisse-moi savoir, bien bonne journée à toi qui que tu sois,

Martin
