Gentlemen,
Lets assume we have a gravel bike wearing a 1x11 grx groupset and an 11-42 cassette, eg the cube nuroad sl or cube cross race sl.
Would it be a straight swap if we fit a sram 10-42 cassette (plus the appropriate wheel/hub body) or do we need to change the derailer and shifter too to sram components? The grx derailer is meant to take a min high gear of 11t according to specs, but is this carved in stone, that is the question.
And a second question....as I am interested in the above two bikes, does anybody know how big they can go on the chainring? Stock is 40t and I am wondering if there is space for 42t - 46t
Cheers!
