I'm toying with the idea of fitting an 11 speed 11-42 cassette (and 11 speed shifter) to my fatbike, which is currently running an 8 speed setup with long cage Acera rear mech and an 11-34 cassette, but which doesn't quite give low enough gearing to take full advantage of the high traction on super steep climbs.
Can I safely switch the cassette, rapid fire shifter and chain, or must I also change the rear mech (or additional parts)?
This is the bike, during a 45 km GPS orienteering race on the weekend:
