Did a full drivetrain upgrade on my e‑fatbike, since the original 10‑speed 11–36 cassette was completely inadequate for a bike this heavy that’s meant for off‑road use. Swapped it out for an 11‑speed 11–51 cassette, along with a new derailleur, chain, shifter, cable, and housing.

At this point, brakes remain the only component I haven’t installed myself - though that’ll probably change soon, because these SRAM Level brakes are total trash.

I must say I was a bit surprised to learn that this doesn't have a cage lock. I thought every modern derailleur would.
