Confused about the hub restrictions. I have 29" Crossmax wheels. Is this cassette OK?

I've heard that Shimano would be offering the HG61 12-36t in a lighter XT version.True

Correct!, well sort of. Shimano offers the XT cassette in a 12-36t but in 10spd. It is unclear if Shimano going to develope any more 9spd parts at this point. The new m980 series XTR has no 9spd offerings.

A GuestGreat price and an even greater value for this old-geezeer/wheezer mt. biker. I took the 12 off and put the 11 (off my 11-34) on the cluster to add a little high-end slower pedaling. I've already used the 11-36 on the bike ('06 Specialized Stumpy Pro) and like the lower end. It's a big winner helping me get my "spring legs" here in St. George, UT (down for a week, and on over to Gooseberry Mesa in Hurricane). I was pleased that the unit went onto my 26"er, and since it's only 2 more cogs than the 11-34 I took off, no problems with the rear deraileur working.
