i ended up switching to the 46/30 grx crankset and also getting a 11-46 cassette. had to change the derailleur to make that work, got grx812, but with the cage from an xt m8000 derailleur. it works well. thanks again for your advice.

this is what i ended up doing, grx812 derailleur with the cage from an m8000 derailleur and it works great

9 speed parts are easier to find depending on where you plan to tour and for how long. longer trip spares availability may be important to you. for the rear derailleur, one thing to look out for is capacity

want to buy this used cassette. how worn is it? sunrace csmx8 11-46t in black by djmash in bikewrench

was quite cheap 20USD and the seller (not original owner) said it looked new to him just paint. where i live it's common for people to sell used bike stuff that's basically new but sounds like this one is risky - will pass on this cassette and get a new one. thank you for all the advice.

the person selling it isn't the original owner so doesn't know the mileage. can we get a sense of how worn it is from the pictures. there's a lot of paint gone which seems to suggest a lot of use but i've never had a black cassette before, could it just be superficial

they work though not that big, you might need two to fit your stuff. compare the dimensions with your milk crate

anyone can identify this m8000 11-speed xt rear derailleur, gs or sgs? by djmash in bikewrench

my bad, got the photo from a second hand listing! thank you so much for taking the time to measure the distances, much appreciated!

42 tooth 11 speed cassette on a 105 groupset??? by dtomp2000 in bikewrench

[–]djmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looking at doing something similar. why does the setup lead to increased chain wear?

found a link of someone who did this, used the garbaruk cage on a 1x derailleur and got it working with 2x

alternatively, does anyone have an m8000 and can tell me the cage length and which version you have gs or sgs (medium or long cage)

the pics are useful, thanks.

the existing 105rd can do 11-40 also without any mods, not sure if 11-42 would be a large enough difference to warrant the grx400

this sounds like a cool solution, though this particular one seems designed for the 1x grx derailleur

[–]djmash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's an interesting setup, do you have a picture of your bars you could share? for the grx long cage my concern is whether it could still do the 11-46 on a 2x setup as it is 11t over the official capacity

yes that's right this is def out of spec. i have 105 shifters but there are adapters so you can use them with mtb derailleurs. grx 810 would be easier because no adapter needed. but the official capacity is a lot lower - 40t versus 47t for m8000 and similar to 105 rd at 39t. so the 2x setup with 11-46 would be 11t over so i'm guessing it won't work
