So, brought a cheap 11-46 t cassette from planet x.. then saw that max tooth for apex apex 1 is 42 tooth.. bugger.
I'll need a new chain anyway, but has anyone bodged this to work or am I wasting my time.
cheers..
I've a Rival 1 mech, and run an 11-46 cassette.
TBH, it can be a bit fussy at times, but not sure whether that's due to being over recommended capacity, or other issues I've got.
I use a 11-46 cassette with a SRAM Force 1 rear mech - originally came with a 11-42 cassette.
It is 'fussy', but once the B-screw is set correctly only with regard to chain length - just one link too few and it will just not drop off the bigger cogs. Worth experimenting.
I changed from 11-42 and a 42T chainring to 11-46 and a 44T chainring - means I've a greater range with a bit extra high as well as low.
This thread is relevant to my interests.
@MicArms 11 or 12 speed? The newer 12 speed supposedly go to 46 officially and without faff. I have 11s 11-42 and a worn chain and am considering new cassettes when I swap the chain.
MLC, 11 speed matey. Planet x are punting out tifosi 11 -46 t cassettes for 25 quid if that's any use to you.
Cheers for the info guys . I'll have a fettle when the new chain arrives.
