Going from 2x10 to 1x10. Want to upgrade my 11-36 cassette to a Sunrace 11-42 or 11-46.
My drivetrain is an x9 shifter / x7 derailleur combo.
Read that 11-42 should be no problem with my current setup.
Less clear on 11-46 options.
Seen some say that an 11s GX derailleur will accommodate 11-46.
Would an 11s NX also work with 11-46?
I assume the answer is "yes" since I hear the GX works but I haven't seen anyone explicity say the NX will work with 46 and SRAM website says 42 max.
Also, read that Shimano 10s derailleurs don't accommodate 11-42 naturally but will with an extender link. That got me thinking... any chance I can pair my x7 derailleur with an extender link to get it up to 11-46?
