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.
snottyotter-
This is the info I need... I'm pretty sure I've got a Shimano SLX HG81 10-speed cassette on there at the moment and I see bike-discount.de are doing a very decent offer on GX AXS upgrade kit with chain and 10t-50t XG-1275 cassette so will I need to change the freehub? Will that cassette only be XG compatible or can I go Microspline?
I'm trying to minimise purchases/ potential for ordering the wrong thing as I'm pitching this as an excellent Christmas present to my wife :)

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?
Thoughts and prayers?
