Fantastic! That chain arm looks like a much better position in the big cog.
Yowza, that’s a big cog. Grin.
With abandon,

I run the exact cassette you have with a Shimano XT M772 rear derailleur
and it works reasonably well. I think the derailleur you're using might not
have clearance for a 40t ( i know on paper it doesn't but in rear world
they can work). The M772 technically doesn't either but it does clear. If
Another thought, one which doesn’t offer any specific answers but is a general
principle I came to in my drivetrain quest: the drivetrain takes constant
pressure and even more on climbs and even more shifting while climbing. It’s
well worth getting a system that isn’t jury rigged to function, bu

Yep, the RoadLink just lowers the derailleur so it is further from the cog.
It works great for some, others have reported that it works but shifting to
the largest cog isn't as smooth as it could be.
If you are considering a new derailleur, get one that officially supports
larger cogs. These de
Steve’s idea looks good, Bill. Also, I learned the hard way to only use
quicklinks when extending a chain, never a chain tool. With narrow chains (7-8
speed and above) it’s just too hard to get the pin back in correctly. Of
course, triple check the quicklink to ensure it is fully clicked into pl

Good advice Patrick! I did consider going down to a 36t chainring. And if this
new cassette is less than hoped I may yet. Or like you say, go back to the way
I had it in the first place and just LCG it when pedaling is no longer optimal!
Now that I consider it, I’m beginning to wonder what I was
Alternatives to the excellent advice already given:
— keep the old cassette (or get one that goes to 36) and switch to a 36
chainring. How much do you use the 11t? Test it by riding one gear up (lower
gearing) on the downhills and see how you do. You’ll max out and coast a bit
sooner is all.

Thanks. I did add four links and turned to b screw all the way in. All is
working well in the stand. Test ride hopefully later today. Thanks again
all for the input.
