I currently have a 1x10 SRAM setup with a 36-12 cassette. My shifter broke this morning, so I was thinking of replacing with Shimano.

Are there any combinations of Shimano 10s parts that work together that will stretch to a 36t cog? Obvs just a rear mech and shifters are what I need!

I think long cage 105/Ultegra maxes out at 34t? Any real world examples of going bigger than a 34t with this setup?

I've used a medium/long cage 105 with with 11-36t and it was fine.

I use a 6600 rear mech with 11-36, but this is in a 1x setup (44t front).

I used a non-series 10s mech with a 2x set up, 40/28 x 11-36 with no problems.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
