In my experience that’s only part of the story. The main issue is that the top jockey wheel is too close to the largest cog.legrandefromage":3ma2ck9i said:peetee":3ma2ck9i said:Interesting you are running a 30t cassette with 7803 group. Shimano state 28t max. I know that is dependent on the specifics of the bike but I take it there are no issues? And do you think it would handle a 32t without shredding the jockey wheel ?
You can change the cages to suit bigger cassettes

FWIW, re: total capacity (different but related) I have both road and MTB with 3x gearing and short cage rear mechs.
But going back to 7803, even though it is a triple group, Shimano list 28t as the largest possible rear cog. Hence my original question.
