New cassette.. what derailleur?
Hi All,
Complete amatuer here hoping you can help!
I've recently swapped my Shimano 10sp (11/25) cassette with a HG500 (11/34) to try and help on the climbs.
After swapping the cassette I now understand that I also need to change my rear derailleur (currently a Tiagra 4600 short cage).
However, I'm struggling to find one that is compatible with the HG500 cassette and Shimano STI 4600 shifters I have.
Does such a thing exist or do I need to look at changing more of the setup?
Thanks for any help.

Welcome to BF!
I checked the compat chart linked below and was surprised that the 5701-GS 105 RD I recommend has a listed max of 32 tooth rear cog. I am running that rear derailleur with 34 tooth cassette. YMMV

A 9 speed Deore would be another choice.
