Thank you Garth, I was wondering if such adapters were available. The Deore
RD has a long cage, so it might be a good candidate. I'll have to do some
investigate to make sure.

Hey John, one of derailleur tab extenders like a Wolf Roadlink allows the use
of such large cogs with derailleurs that couldn't otherwise work. It doesn't
alter the RD ch!in wrap capacity of course, just the ability to work with huge
cogs. So an 11-46 1x should work with even the older RD's that
Thank you Aaron and DP for the feedback. I have to dial in the additional
cost/search for a new rear derailleur. The vintage Deore most likely won't
work with the gearing range.

Smooth as butter, John. I think he'll really like the set-up. The range of
the Silver shifter allows for non-fiddly shifting. The first round of
Silver Shifters seemed to be fussy, needing just a bit of range per gear,
making it tricky to shift on a jouncy trail. Not so with two. The derailure
In this same vein, I’m running the Microshift Advent 9 speed 11-42 derailleur,

the group set, and it’s been great on my fillet brazed 29+.
You could use their thumbies if you wanted friction shifting. I’m surprised

Hello DP,
How's the Box drive train working out for you? I'm considering the Box 3
prime 9 11-46 cassette and Box 3 prime 9 chain for my Salsa Casseroll which
my teenage son has been riding. He's not interested in a front derailleur
so a wider range 9 would be good for him. He likes the Silver
One word review from first full ride on all surfaces: Solid.
More word review: Each gear feels closer to the solidity of fixed gear or
single speed, I presume because of the combo of 9 speed chain and steel
cogs. Interestingly, this gives a wider range of comfort for each gear.

Hey Ed. Aye, Joe spotted it: Box Components. Easy to miss, being a fairly
generic sounding name. I got this groupset:

Hi Patrick,
Can you give more details on your GBW build?
What is the brand of your 11-50t 9 speed cassette?
What crankset did you use?

For all you pondering your GBW builds, this was simple on my Gus prototype (and
wow! is it great having friction shifting back and wider spacing between gears!)
