Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Rear Deraileur 10 speed choice?

Hi, i am currently building a gravel bike and could use some help, got a good deal on a pair of wheels. The wheels are 10 speed, so i am looking for a good 10 speed rear derailleur, i want to be running 11-42, with a 36 tooth, 1x narrow-wide chainring in the front. I also plan on using a pair of Shimano compatible 10 speed shifters from Sensah, does anyone know a good derailleur, as the GRX 400 only goes up to 36 teeth?

Define "good".

What gear ratios max and min are you going to want? (never mind, you said that) What frame are you putting it on?
