Does anyone know if a wide ratio 10 speed cassette is made - say an 11-32?
Shimano only goes up to a 27, and SRAM goes up to 28.
I'm using a compact double, and don't particularly want to change to a triple and thought a wide range cassette might be helpful for the Alps, but alas nobody seems to make them.

    Yes, Interloc Racing Design makes one for both Shimano and Campagnolo patterns. BBB may make one too. Shimano has made one, but only for Santana (the tandem manufacturer, not the band!).

    For a 32 you will need to change your derailleure as well. The standard 10spd short will only cope with 27 (Shimano advice) or 28 - possibly.

    Thank-you guys.
    Have found a distributor for IRD cassettes in the UK (Fine-ADC) and have ordered myself a 12-32. Result!
