What is the biggest 10 speed cassette?
There probably isn’t one, but when 10-speed groupsets ruled the roost, a 36t cog was the biggest you’d normally come across. As a result, older 10-speed derailleurs aren’t usually officially approved for use with a 42t cassette.
Are all 10 speed Shimano cassettes compatible?

What is a wide ratio cassette?
– Depending on the cassette you have, going to a wider ratio cassette (greater size difference between the smallest cog and largest cog) can give a wider total ratio. Mountain Example: You ride an 11/36 cassette; > a change to 10/42 will increase both the high and the low.
