My gravel bike came with a SRAM Rival 11-42T, if I replace it does it have to be like for like or can I use a shimano version? I’ll have to change the chain too.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
ah ok, thanks. So, I just need to make sure i go for a like for like 11-42T but in Shimano form? The derailleur is also SRAM (RIVAL).The one thing you can't do is use a cassette with a 10 tooth smallest sprocket as they need a different freehub.

Yep - Shimano, SRAM, Microsoft or any other manufacturer. I'm guessing it's 11 speed so, if you're not using the 42 tooth cog, you could go for a normal MTB 11-36 cassette. On one of my bikes I run an Apex 1 rear derailleur with an 11-28 cassette.
PS the microshift ones are OK - been using one on the commute.
I did and even made sure that's that I'd typed. Autocorrect on phone.Think you mean Microshift!
