@hippy thanks for the offer (I’m over in Berlin unfortunately) and advice
@snottyotter and @oheyitsd I think the deore 10 speed option is gonna be the way forward, I can use the current cassette and zee derailleur with the deore shifter on another frame to save a bit of money.
I put the bike together trying to spend as little money as possible (taking parts of other bikes etc) but the first few rides made me smile so much that i figured I should invest some cash into it. I’ll most probably put it in the current projects thread as there’s a few problems I’m having trouble getting my head round. Chainline and tire choice (put on bigger tires yesterday but feel no where near as supple as the old ones, hopefully playing with tire pressure will help) are the next as it’s loosing grip and dropping the chain on wet roots etc -
@hippy nice, I think I’m gonna have to just fork out on a new derailleur, there’s a few deals about on a deore 10x1 upgrade kit for around 100€ with chain, cassette, shifter and derailleur. Hopefully deore are still halfway decent. Trying to figure out out what shimano shadow means is that a clutch!?!?

@hippy thanks lad, so in theory I could put a wolf tooth on my zee derailleur and get a 42 tooth cassette to work. I’d only have to buy a wolf tooth, new cassette and add a few extra chain links. This would definitely be the cheapest option for me I think.
Edit….scratch that just read the zee fr still has a short cage so unfortunately won’t work. I’m so confused 😂 -
I’m looking to upgrade my mtb rear cassette to a wider ratio, I’m currently running a 1x10 shimano zee shifter and derailleur 11-36. Could someone recommend a derailleur and cassette 11-42. I’d like to keep the zee shifter if possible. Seen a few deals on the deore upgrade 10spd kit but was wondering is the shimano cues system is a major improvement and is the deore derailleur a major downgrade from the zee. Is there an XT 10 speed derailleur with a clutch that would be better suited? Or just go to 11 speed? Thanks for any advice.

I’d contact Drust Cycles, he’s a nice fellow.

Please do lad, my mate told me a funny story, he plays the devil and the movie is in Russian, he couldn’t get the Russian language down so he goes to the director wouldn’t it be extra dark if the devil spoke German. Convinced the director and got away with it.

Watched The Master and Margarita last night, not everyone’s cup of tea but a close friend is in it. Unfortunately it was made before the Russian invasion of Ukraine so never got a proper release. If you’ve read the book it’s a good adaptation and feel bad for my mate as is some of his best acting but I think will go unseen due to it being a Russian movie unfortunately. If you’ve got a free evening please try and check it out.
