Has anyone ever tried to combine Miche Primato cassette with other cassette?

[cpml123]

I have a Sunrace 10 speed 11-40 on my S40. I am just wondering if anyone has ever mixed a Miche Primato cassette with Sunrace or other Shimano/Sram cassette? I am thinking of mixing their 14/27 or 15/24 by taking out a few gears from the Sunrace to get a 14 or 15/40. I find the 11 or 13 teeth gear virtually useless as I don't go that fast (or can go that fast).

You can do that; it may not shift smoothly due to miss-matched ramps but it WILL shift.

it may not shift smoothly

If you are not already wishing you had a hub gear, you will be.

I have done just what you are proposing. I used Miche cassette cogs 13,14,15, 16 as the first 4 cogs with a 11x32 Sunrace 10 speed cassette. Works great.

Cool! Now I am very intrigued. Might be a good summer project.

This discussion has prompted me, to relook at my gearing on the Silvio V2.2 with 26"*42 tyres, with a triple 153 mm crankset 25,39,53 to a 11 to 34, 10 speed Shim new XTR cassette,
giving 19.3" to 126" gear inches, 5.5 kph (3.5 mph) in 1st at 60 Cad, to 72 kph in top at 120 Cad.

I am looking at adding an Absolute Black 40T sprocket, + a 16T Shim sprocket from a Shim 11-28 cassette, and removing the 11T and 13T sprockets, adding an AB 13T lockring, to give 40, 34,30,26,23,21,19,17,16,15 cassette,
giving 16.1" to 91" gear inches, 4.6 kph (2.9 mph) in 1st at 60 Cad, to 53 kph in top at 120 Cad.

This will also increase the number of rear cassette gears, from 5 to 6 in the 20 kph to 30 kph range(12.5 mph to 19 mph)).

My worry is if a hanger extension would be required for the Shimano XT RD-M771-LC 9 speed derailleur (2.3 mm cable pull per change) 11-36 capacity 45T capacity?

Slim you might consider not carrying so much and lighten the load . Definitely don’t need the top end though. How do you ride below 5 klm / hr and keep stable.

I would be carrying 25 kg in three rear ortliebs and 1 front ortlieb, plus two 26"*26"*10" cardboard boxes folded up, for the bike and luggage while on the plane or trains!
I HOPE you are not suggesting that a STAVED and THIRSTY South Australian could loose any more weight!!!!!

STAVED, eh? @super slim

If you end your trek near me you can pick up the cardboard at the end. Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. We get in shipments all the time and I can put aside enough large pieces of cardboard to build a 26"*26"*10" box. You are going to look like Nemo with all the fins and a tail on your Silvio!
Any resemblance is purely in the eye of the viewer -- every one of you.

That looks like a fantastic itinerary. I see that you've set the Cruzbike Ride Retreat date and time - super slim time!
