GRX 2x + 11-40T XT cassette - rattling
Moderator: Moderator Team
Was playing around with my GRX today with 30/46 and added the CS-M8000 XT 11-40 cassette. Perfect range for the gnarly hills around here and shifts fairly decent however the cassette rattles like hell. I put it on Terra CLX rear wheel with shimano HG EXP freehub but thinking I either need a spacer or a different free hub for this cassette. Any thoughts?

How’s the shifting, bearing in mind the extra 6 teeth?

I've got 11-40, 46-30, and RX800 rear mech. I concur 8 out of 10. The laggiest shift oddly isn't the 11-13-15 cogs, where the upper pulley is farthest from the cogs, but somewhere in the middle.
The B-screw is far enough out that I adjust it a bit when switching to the 10-36 on my road wheels, but I don't change chain length.

If not, what cassette and freehub are you using?

Haven't heard/know anything, about that combo.
Will need to investigate
