I'm on a quest to find...

a custom or non-standard style cassette.

My current cassette is this...

Model: Shimano CS-HG50-10
Size: 11-36
Cassette Cogs: 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-36

I don't find the smaller cogs that useful, esp 11 and 13. I find the larger cogs more useful for climbing and cycling in general. Does anyone know where I can find a 10 speed cassette that has a cog starting with 14 or 15 teeth all the way up to a cog that has 38 or 40 teeth? The climbing gears would be much more of a benefit to me. Thanks!

Why not just change the chainring to a smaller one.

That's an interesting suggestion. This is my current chain ring. Shimano T521 Octalink 170-175mm 48/38/26t 10spd I'm starting to use the small ring more often now as it seems much more versatile. In order not to cross chain as much, I was thinking of getting larger cogs on the cassette. If changing the small chain ring to a smaller one is an easy option, it's something I might consider.

On my old Meta I have a 11-34 with 34/22 chainrings with a 36 size bashplate in place of the outer chainring. I've never understood the need for a 48 chainring on an MTB.

Chainrings only take five minutes to change.

Thats a Touring chainset. A standard triple MTB one is 22/32/44. Change the rings and you'll be fine
