Now, my cassette shimano 9 speed started working wrong, so I'm thinking to change it for a Deore 11-36 10 speed. taking in to consideration that I'm riding in average 150k per week, Is that decision ok?
Thanks.
Rear derailleurs are compatible through road 10 and mountain 9 so you should be good to go with just the cassette. Watch out for your chain length, since the cassette is bigger you might need a new chain with more links.
