New short cage 11/36
I upgraded my Xootr Swift to a 10 speed. I bought a Shimano zee short cage, trigger shifters, 10 speed cassette and chain. I have a tremendous amount of ground clearance and it shifts beautiful. I also replaced the from chainring to 44. Total cost from Jensonusa under $125 and I did the install.
Highly recommend.

I did this almost two years ago...
The thread documenting the switch is here.
Note that there are two Shimano 11-36 10-speed cogsets. I have the HG81, which after four years, is still shifting well. I've got the M771 in the parts bin waiting its turn...
When I decommissioned the Dash, I moved the transmission to the FSIR. Crisp, accurate shifts time after time, even through three tours.

The good thing about these Zee (and Saint) RDs is that they are small and stubby, yet they wrap a 11-36T cogset, have a clutch that reduces chain slap, and are built tough(er) since they are meant for the knocks of Downhill.
