Doesn't SRAM print the capacities for their derailleurs? For a 12-36 cassette and one ring you just need a mech with 24t capacity right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I like where you are headed with this.

You might need a longer B tension screw to get enough clearance to the 36T cog.
You may also find that your freehub explodes with the extra torque that the 36T cog applies. Shimano recommends the steel freehub body from the Deore hub for that cassette.

Uh oh! Explosions are bad!!! I'm not in need of it bad right now, it's more of a "when my current cassette wears out" upgrade. My 34T is just fine but when I have to replace, might as well upgrade
The SRAM tech manual, http://www.sram.com/_media/techdocs/rd_X0_X9_X7_5_4_3__7_04.PDF , says it can only handle a 34T but some of you guys are just nutty enough to try it anyway and I was curious if anyone got it to work...
