• 1x10 or 1x8, 9 speed isn't worth it unless you can get them for cheap, chain wear is similar to the 10 speed, but with one less cog.

    Also any 8/9 speed derailleur work with 10 speed as long it's not those shadow/clutch one.

    So 11-36 will work? Says max 34t on Velobase for M730 XT

  • Not sure, it could work, only way is to find out, even something cheap like the Shimano Altus work well.

  • Depends. I bodged a 9 speed cassette to test out 11-36 on 8 speed. It shifts....but that's not saying much really. It shifts badly. Could probably be adjusted to a degree, but frankly, I was happy with the range offered by 11-34.
