Is it possible to get an 11-36 tooth 9 speed cassette ?
Or to boodge one ? Would it work with a standard XT rear mech ?
I brought a 12-27 speed ultegra mech and bodged on an 11 tooth cog to that no problem. Would this be the same.
Does anyone know of a light weight 36 tooth cassette ? I've noticed the deore one but a bit heavy as really I wanted to save weight.
i think you could use the deore 12-36 and change the bottom to an 11t (& lockring)
the hg61 12-36 weighs 422g. 😯
other than that i think you are looking at custom stuff (try mtbr)
I agree with Tom.
Here is a link to a light-weight solution, but you may cry when you see the price.

slx 10 speed groupset is cheaper than an actiontech caseette!!
why the need for 11-36?
Just wondering about getting rid of the front mech with out having to upgrade to 10 speed
Get rid of the front mech, use a 34/11 tooth cassette with your chosen chainring size and you'll be fine.
I use a 33 with a 32/11
Exactly the same here, fine pushing 11-34 x 32t, but find that 34-32 is still that bit high, especially end of a long ride / very steep stuff. Slowly collecting SLX 10spd stuff, just need a cassette now.
The fettler in me still has an idea around machining down an unramped 36t chainring, & replacing the largest sprocket on a 34t cassette after a bit of milling, drilling & riveting. 😛
I spotted that 36t Deore, but then spotted the weight of the thing.
I use Kinetic K-Gear software to see what difference changing gear ratios is going to have.
Does going to a 11-36 make that much difference to using an 11-34???
Depends for a start on what size ring your using up front - if your planning to use a 32 up front you lose your three lowest gears at the back, if you go to an 11-36 you only lose the last two.
If you follow fashion and go for a 34 up front your back to losing the lowest three at the back but gain one bigger gear up front… If it was me, and I had an 11-34 9spd cassette kicking about I would simply give 1x9 a whirl with what I had. If I only had a 11-32 cassette to try I would try it, and beg/borrow an 11-34 off a mate to give it a go.
Changing to 10 speed or even buying new bits at all to "try something out", when that something can almost be accomplished without the expense seems a little daft.
do hill reps - its cheaper 😉

out of interest where did you guys see the weight? i couldn't find a published one?
Tom,
Weight in here:
You can also use the 36T off this cassette by unrivetting the assembly (it is not a spider-based unit) and put it behind an 11-32 with the 11T missing and a substitute 13T with lock-ring serrations and a 12T lockring. The 11T lockring will not work with anything else and vice-versa.
