1x10 cassette options

[ishaw]

I'm building a bike for a mates son. Going 1x10 as I have some stuff already but what would be a good option for cassette ratio wise and also front ring?

Looking for thought on coffee teeth numbers around a 32 ISH front ring.

I find an 11-46 cassette paired with a 30t chaining works well. Would I like to go lower via a 50+ cassette or a 28t chainring? Sure - but this combo was cheap as chips.

11-42 would work well enough on a 32t if you can't stretch to a 46t. I've ridden that combo before too.
