I never clean or wax the chain, i just put a load of oil on top of the mud.
i like the cut of your jib sir! maintenance on an eeb is overrated. so are expensive cassettes/chains.
No dramas with the deore 10 speed mech on 11 speed and the cage is a bit shorter meaning it’s less vulnerable to getting smashed. Cues shifter feels a bit cheapo but does the job if you can’t stretch to the xt.
Is that the GS cage (med cage) Deore 10spd mech? With which cassette?
“Is that the GS cage (med cage) Deore 10spd mech? With which cassette?”
It’s the LinkGlide Deore mech - I think there’s only one version. And that’ll work with any LinkGlide cassette as long as it’s not more than 10 sprockets and 43t biggest.
When my sram axs drivetrain needed replacing I got a shimane freehub so I could run a deore cassette (some steel sprockets) with whichever compatible chainring and chain I could find that was the best for price and wear. Done this with my 2 ebikes and all is good

I'm interested to hear if anyone has used it with a 45+ tooth. There's usually a difference between the specified max & in-use max that people run without issues (Zee & Saint mechs for instance).
Apologies for missing these, I’m on a cues 11-45 at the minute. It runs with zero issue with the medium cage deore linkglide mech. 32t chain ring.
Again sorry for late reply. As above 11-45t
Just reading about the Microshift MX and it says that the cassettes are available in HG or XD so no need to change the free hub.
Exactly, if people actually wanted >10t top sprockets then there would be a demand and someone would make them.Loads of people want them, hell, i've even seen people asking SRAM directly when they will support larger top sprockets. They started waffling about "integrated systems" and "we understand the market". And "no, we won't".
