Speaking of franken-drivetrains, does anyone have a silver bullet for a shortcage, moderately widerange (10-42) drivetrain sitting on an XD driver (preferably)? My hardtail has a steady diet of Shimano's 11s rear mechs and hangers, and I just hate the HG freewheel bodies being massacred by the cassettes (and having to use brute force to remove them).
Currently on SRAM's cassette & chain w/Shimano's 11s shifter & derailleur (which works good for some derailleurs, crappy for others, wolftooth's goatlink on the way). Would be happy to go for a smaller number of gears but retain the range (oval 28t x 10-42).
Was considering a 10s Zee, but that opens a new can of worms with the XD driver...
All recommendations welcome!
