I'm running the SRAM 11-36T on a GRX 2x11 build. Runs fine with 2 turns of the B screw compared to the 11-32T I run with road tyres. Range is 48x11 4.36 to 31x36 0.86 and you keep the tight spacing.

For me it's 2x for life. I love my 30, 42T set-up. Got light used DT swiss wheels, 42 cassette and winter tyres for 250$. Norway got many good deals

Running their XD 10-46 cassette with a Shimano SLX derailleur on my gravel bike. 4000 miles in and going strong.

When I built my 'monstercross' bike (steel frame drop bar bike with 2.1 inch mtb tyres and wheels) I lost many hours of my life I will never recover working out the best way to get ultra wide range for my bikepacking trips. I dont mind the weight as long as I've got the gearing to see me over the off road mountain climbs, and my camping gear is heavy. I have found in Scotland last year I literally needed the 30t 52t ratio quite a bit surprisingly. I ended up getting the ratio technologies mod to use Sram Eagle with Rival shifters and have never regretted this decision, I did consider this exact setup but needed that tiny bit more range and low end. Now the time is approaching after 3600 miles where i've got to replace it in a month or two and the GX eagle cassette costs nearly as much as the Garbaruk! Many thanks for showing it off, I would really appreciate a long term abuse test though because I worry about investing in wearable parts beyond the mid tier I usually go for, and I tend to stick with what I know even if Sram takes me for a fool charging what they are asking at this point for a pinned together cassette.

Very helpful. Thx

Recently I bought some Garbaruk parts after I have been using a Garbaruk oval chainring for over 2 years. Most of the time I ride my gravelbike on really flat terrain in a good mix of on and off road and for that type of use I'm using a 11-32 SRAM cassette. I found out that Shimano created GRX 1X purely for 11-40 and 11-42 cassettes and only then it all works better than almost anything else. With the 11-32 SRAM cassette this is quite different, shifting is not how it should and can be. I replaced the standard derailleur cage for a Garbaruk cage with the Garbaruk pulleys and that was the best thing I could have done. Now the whole set up not only shifts perfect with the 11-40 and 11-42 cassettes as Shimano likes you to use, also with a 11-32 SRAM cassette everything is way better than it was and also with a 11-46 cassette all's fine. Didn't try a bigger cog but I'm convinced it will work as it works with the cassettes with smaller cogs. Very happy with my purchase as my bike shifts better than it ever has done with the by Shimano not advised cassettes.

Good stuff

The GRX 820 12-speed groupset is a secret weapon no-one ia talking about. The poor mans mullet with no hacking required!!

I am a fan of garbaruk, but after chewing through a 34t oval chainring in 3 months and another buddy chewing through their cassette in 6months, I am reluctant to give them another try. I am hoping that the extra teeth on their Gravel/road chainrings will help with durability. But if you’re a powerful rider or rides in harsh conditions, keep an eye on the component wear. In terms of function, they are A1. Chainrings run dead quiet and the long teeth allowed me to remove my chain guide and between the ring and chainguide weight savings it was an easy 100g Vs previous setup. They also clear mud very well. Hopefully the 40t ring will last longer. Fingers crossed, they look amazing on most bikes!

I just set this up on my Grx 812 x1. Did you get any chain rub on the derailer cage near the bottom pulley? Mine does it on the big cog.

I went with garbaruk but with a sram force 11spd rear mech, the extended cage and garbaruk 50t 11spd cassette and unfortunately it didn't work well. Weather the cage was bent or cassette was defective I just could not workout why the gears were off, shifting was fine but it was like I didn't have enough cable tension and too much cable tension at the same time, the chain alignment was off opposite ways each end of the cassette (if that makes any sense) Anyway I ended up swapping out to 52t sram eagle and used the ratio 12 spd shifter upgrade kit and magic it works perfect and could adjust cable tension just like normal. This was unfortunate because the garbaruk cassette was an amazing piece of kit and looked unreal, also was lightweight, im sure the problem with old setup was the fact I was using a road derailleur and it couldn't handle the long cage and large cassette.

I have 2 setups w/ Gabaruk, but its on SRAM XO1 and GX. The XO1 setup w/ a spending eThirteen Helix 9-46 cassette and SRAM 12sp chain is probably the most silky smooth shift experience I have had. The other one isn't quite as amazing, but its with a Sunrace 11-46. I do have a question though since it's on topic w/ the video. I am getting ready to do a new gravel bike build, and picked up Shimano GRX 810 (1x11), and I am considering do the Gabaruk conversion on this bike as well. With the Gabaruk cage, does it allow you to run 2X? I couldn't find much information on what happens when you change the rear derailleur cage. I've heard of people using the XT cage for extra range, but not sure if it opens up the use for 2X.

You are running di2. A cheaper method would just easily switch the derailleur to XT di2 and then grab a 11-46 or even 11-51 (using a wolftooth) shimano cassette. You will need a new chain. The Also if you are using mechanical set up the standard GRX 812 derailleur with a wolftooth can easily clear a 11-46 cassette. So this way you will save hundreds of more dollars. Garbaruk set up cost a lot more, but you will get the bling and the super lightweight cassette.

Also tragically that doesn't work because the amount of cable travel per shift is different between road and mtb on both shimano and sram on 11 and 12 speed (though not 10 speed and older). There is a whole segment of products designed to address this exact issue of needing sub 18 gear inches for very mountainous terrain when bikepacking (and other wide range cases like in the video). Its a very real problem neither sram or shimano have an adequate solution for sadly except things like AXS which I am very wary of for a variety of reasons. This is just one way to get that sweet do it all setup where you can load the bike up and go over a rocky mountain pass and still get some decent speed on the road.
