I've got apex on my bike, it will take a 36 t cassette with b screw tweaking. Yours may do the same but depends on mech-hanger.

I can't remember if an mtb rear mech is compatible.

I'd suggest editing the topic title too

How does one edit the topic title?

I can't find any way, unfortunately.

I can't quite remember, but for posts there is an edit button. I think for the thread starter there is an option to edit title.

One thing I don't understand, I thought APEX was drop bar specific, hybrids are usually flat bar with mtb style trigger shifters.

My APEX rear mech is similar size to long cage mtb mechs. What mech have you got?

Just checked the specs, APEX mechs f+r, s700 shifters. I still don't know if shifters are mtb compatible with mtb rear mech but you should be able to put a 36 t cassette on. This will require a chain wrench and cassette lock ring tool and a big spanner.

If your mech hanger won't allow a bigger cassette, you may be able to get a longer hanger to fit.
