I've been putting a groupset upgrade on my YT on the long finger for a long time and the near death derailleur that's on there at the moment has been a small part in me barely riding the thing at all for the last year (life has mainly been in the way but knowing it shifts like a turd isn't inspiring me to get it out either...)
Hubs are Hope Pro4 on a 142mm x 12mm axle...
Should I be able to fit a 12-speed cassette on there?
Recommendation for groupset these days? Do I go wireless?
I would quite like to give it a good once over too as it's still plenty of bike for me and I'm not in the market for a change at the moment... I did the bearings when I built it but not ridden it an awful lot since (I would say less than 500km) then so I'm not sure it's worth doing them again?
12 speed is fine if you don't want a 10t on a HG freehub, if you do then you'll need a new freehub from hope, either microspline or XD, I'd recommend microspline and a Shimano cassette and chain as they shift beautifully.

Only an NX one, if it's an HG freehub. And NX cassettes are really shit, so I would change your freehub as has been suggested so you can choose from more
