When I built my 'monstercross' bike (steel frame drop bar bike with 2.1 inch mtb tyres and wheels) I lost many hours of my life I will never recover working out the best way to get ultra wide range for my bikepacking trips. I dont mind the weight as long as I've got the gearing to see me over the off road mountain climbs, and my camping gear is heavy. I have found in Scotland last year I literally needed the 30t 52t ratio quite a bit surprisingly. I ended up getting the ratio technologies mod to use Sram Eagle with Rival shifters and have never regretted this decision, I did consider this exact setup but needed that tiny bit more range and low end. Now the time is approaching after 3600 miles where i've got to replace it in a month or two and the GX eagle cassette costs nearly as much as the Garbaruk! Many thanks for showing it off, I would really appreciate a long term abuse test though because I worry about investing in wearable parts beyond the mid tier I usually go for, and I tend to stick with what I know even if Sram takes me for a fool charging what they are asking at this point for a pinned together cassette.

And those Garbaruk cogs and a solid SRAM XO chain ... you can ride it until it is worn to the bone. I have a replacement set laying around, but I am still running it for another winter season. I thought the cogs would really start to break down by now ... but no still running. Shifting does become slower near this end though ...

Question: Can I change my DI2 GRX 815 cage to a Garbaruk cage and one of their bigger cassettes? Running an extreme 48 x 31 in the front (2x) and a 11-50T in the back? Maybe crazy but just very curious. I get the idea it would work.....point .62 ratio!!! Curious if it works what chain length would support this.....or maybe that is the caveat!

Recently I bought some Garbaruk parts after I have been using a Garbaruk oval chainring for over 2 years. Most of the time I ride my gravelbike on really flat terrain in a good mix of on and off road and for that type of use I'm using a 11-32 SRAM cassette. I found out that Shimano created GRX 1X purely for 11-40 and 11-42 cassettes and only then it all works better than almost anything else. With the 11-32 SRAM cassette this is quite different, shifting is not how it should and can be. I replaced the standard derailleur cage for a Garbaruk cage with the Garbaruk pulleys and that was the best thing I could have done. Now the whole set up not only shifts perfect with the 11-40 and 11-42 cassettes as Shimano likes you to use, also with a 11-32 SRAM cassette everything is way better than it was and also with a 11-46 cassette all's fine. Didn't try a bigger cog but I'm convinced it will work as it works with the cassettes with smaller cogs. Very happy with my purchase as my bike shifts better than it ever has done with the by Shimano not advised cassettes.
