Just another confirmation that the large pulley Altus that Rivendell carries will handle an 11-36 9 speed. I have this on my Atlantis. Shimano always seems to be conservative in their ratings. It's on a triple with a 34 middle & I use the entire cassette on that ring. 44 outer is only used up to maybe the 3rd cog from the big, and the 24 inner out to maybe the 4th cog from the inner.
