Single speed for the park for sure. Didn’t work as hoped on my FS trail bike but I assumed you’d be switching to a hardtail re. simple solutions.
I tried 30x36t and I definitely need a bit more back end.
That, of course, means more weight because the Sunrace 11-42t is heavier. And a longer cage - but not Eagle long. I like the mix of an 11-spd XT derailleur and 10-spd shifter.
If 30x36t works for you then don’t think twice. Lots of NOS and lightly used stuff around.
