I’m supposed to be going on a cycle tour on Sunday and having some bike issues.
Other issues beyond my control mean I’m trying to cobble a bike together to use last minute.
I have a sunrace 10 speed 11-46 cassette, which comes with its own version of a goat link. I have a deore m6000 RD long cage. Apparently the max cog capacity is 41 but I should be able to get it to reach the 46t cog with the goat link? I’m just going to use bar end friction shifters in the hope it will be more simple. No front mech.
Pushing the RD in with my hand seemed like it wouldn’t go far enough, although now thinking about it I didn’t adjust the limit screw.
Alternatively I do have an SRAM rival 1x RD which apparently only has a max cog capacity of 42.
Feeling a little out of my depth and a bit stressed...
