Man, those 12 speed 10-45 cassettes, particularly at XT level, were pure weapons-grade unobtainium when they were released and around the covid-y years that:
1\. to this day I've never seen one in person; and
2\. I totally forgot they existed.
I have a bundle of standard faire 10-51 Shimano 12 speed cassettes, which mostly aren't on bikes to burn through, but I'd prefer the 10-45t eventually. Too bad, like all cool but slightly off the common path Shimano stuff, it'll likely be discontinued by then.
