Don't hold your breath. I'm notorious for waiting for the stock parts to let me down before upgrading, and more importantly, it appears that the 11-36t cassettes are 10-speed cassettes or mountain cassettes. Not sure whether the 10-speed cassette would work, but the mountain cassette would require a new hub driver, and it's a little early to make that move. I expect that after market cassettes with 11-speed ranges that parallel the 10-speed offerings will show-up before too long. I may wait for that.
