So, I've established that I have an SLX cassette (10 speed). It is a great
I've just ordered up a 42t cog from Wolftooth, and it will be arriving in a week or so. I am aware that they say compatibility is with XT or XTR, so I have ordered up and XT. Alas, it is on backorder the better part of 2 months. (Don't ask why I don't get it from somewhere else, suffice to say, it is because I can be a bit of an impulse-buying dumb dumb from time to time)
Question: will the the 11t cog butt properly against the 15t cog on an SLX cassette? If so, I can take out the 13t cog (instead of the 17t cog as they recommend) and Bob will still be my uncle.
I am aware that the shift from 11 to 15 and vice versa will be a pretty huge jump, but I never linger down in the depths of my cassette for long, so I'd doubt I'll consider it a deal breaker.
What say the Shimano nerds out there?
