news? IRD offering 10 speed wide range cassettes
 

i may be the only one riding with compact crank and wide range 9 speed mt cassettes. i have been stock piling a few parts; mostly 9 spd sti shifters, thinking Shimano might never evolve to offering 10 speed mt stuff.

i just found out today IRD is offering big 10 speed cassettes. not sure what I'd do with the extra cog, but at least I know I could "move up" to 10 speed shifters at some point.

"New 11-34, 12-32 and 11-32! Great for tandems, CX and XC (Shimano MTB long cage rear derailleurs will shift 10 and this will fit most 9-speed hubs."

An 11 for me is useless. I understand they just stick an 11 on the end of
standard casettes.

a 12 maybe ..... maybe ..... might work ....
