    Look at MTBR 29er forums, plenty of people using them. Alternative is Middleburn cranks with 20/30/40T rings.

    CRC have stock of the cassettes btw.

    Might be worth it for a 1×9 setup. Yes – I'm thinking of a 30T front for my 1×9 setup

    you might have to change your rear mech. Shimano recommends that this cassette is only compatible with Shimano Shadow type rear derailleurs. We've run it successfully with a basic Deore (non-shadow design) with the B-tension screw all the way in. its bloody huge. get a road bike if you want to spin like that.

    32:36 more or less = 22:24

    6.3mph vs 6.4mph and a better chainline to boot

    I'm not sure what you mean. How will a road bike get you up a steep muddy trail?

    Tony, the GF has one on her bike as following a hip operation she has to spin everything / everywhere. Rear mech is a std deore, just enough clearance. I reckon it'd be great on a 1×9 29er.

    36T cassette on a 29er is the similar to a 32/34T cassette on a 26er – whats the problem with that 🙄

    Ton – have you seen the Action Tec Ti cassettes http://www.actiontec.us/ticog.htm – 11/ 36T or up to 39T !!! a bit expensive though, but much lighter than a Deore Cassette.

    I thought this cassette chewed up the inside edge of the hub splines?

    I looked into going this way a while but decided against it for that reason. Can't remember all the details now
