Guys, i have problem.

I had Shimano RD-M773 SGS before. After small accident i ordered upgraded, RD-M786. And now noticed that i have SG version. I ordered it together with XT cassette (11-36), and casette is compatible by tooths. Problem pobably is my chainring. Chainring configuration: 24/32/42.
New derailleur specs:
Max large sprocket : 36 T -OK
Min large spocket: 32 T -OK
Smallest sprocket: 11 T -OK
Front chainwheel teeth difference: 18 T -OK
Total capacity: 35 T, i have (36-11)+18 = 43 -PROBLEM
So, what i should do? Send derailleur back?
Thanks...

well u need a long cage, SGS, for it all to work as is. Or, get a single raceface wide/narrow to replace your 3x up front and der will be fine. I did that with my trance 3x, it was fantastic. I went a 38T but a 36T would have been better. Consider a 32T or even 34T depending upon your trails and climbing strength.

Because it isn't brainiac math, it's very simple math. Secondly, he may want to understand why it all works, not just a black and white answer.

Guys, why all the brainiac math? The OP just wants to know what cage to use with his 11-34 cassette.......fer cryin......

Hi to all. Would like to ask suggestions on what type of rear derailleur cage should I need to 2x10 set up. A medium cage or a long cage? My set up would be 38T-26T chain ring and 11T-36T cassette.

 

[kalbones_01]

By the way, I will be using shimano.

 

[AlienRFX]

Long Cage.

I had the same (effective) issue as you. I ran a short cage, but had to give up the easiest gear in order to do so. I was happy with that.

[grandsalmon]

medium will work

 

[Ze_Zaskar]

24-38 front, 11-34 rear, medium cage?
Thanks

I will be using single 46T (or maybe 42T) up front and 8 speed cassette 11-34 in the back.
I will use SRAM x4 or x5 rear derraileur. Should I choose medium or long? (sram doesnt seem to have short ones).
Please please help with this!

A 46T!! I think you should opt for bionic legs before worrying about derailleurs lol

46T is becauae there will be mounted a Bafang BBS01 mid drive motor kit. And that only comes with 46T.
Ill have 42T if not Bafang. The bike will be ridden commuter style 100% on bicycle lanes and roads in our just outside of the city.

Medium or long x4 / x5 derailleur?
I've previously ordered a long cage for this build but maybe I have to rethink?

 

[grandsalmon]

Medium is no problem

 

[matte2k]

Medium is no problem

But the problem is that Ive ordered a long one. U think I nees to replace it?

No, not at all, just size the chain correctly, good to go.

Im kind of lost here...Iam putting together a 2x10 system with an xx 11/36 cassette..
with a 2x10 xx crankset with 29-42 rings....will a medium cage xx derailleur work or do I need a long cage..any help would be appreciated...this is my first build

 

[lucifuge]

Well, if it can run a 10-speed chain, this suggests a medium would work!

Hi All. Interested in the 11sp e*thirteen TRS cassette for a 1X setup. the chain capacity would be 35, so i assume it to be compatible with the shimano m-9000 gs cage (max cap is 37). however according to http://www.ridextr.com/specfiles/en/RD Complete Specs.pdf
the low sprocket max is 40T. e*thirteen website reports Shimano compatibility, however:
2016 TRS+ Cassettes | the hive

so basically i want to understand if the TRS cassete and M-9000 are compatible.

sorry if this was already discussed it didn't turn up in a search. thanks.

I noticed that SRAM went with an even longer cage with their new Eagle drivetrain. Looks like a proper long cage RD, since the capacity that they need to handle is 40t (50t big cog - 10t small cog).


- Length of cage evident by how close the lower pulley is to the rim

For Shimano, looks like a GS would barely handle some of the wider range cassettes, since they reportedly have a capacity of 33t, and need to handle a 1x spread of 31 (42-11 = 31), as long as the chain is sized properly (not too long), and the bike isn't a FS design with too much chain growth.

Hi
Ordered a medium cage XTR M9000 11 speed derailleur to go on my XTR 11-40 cassette and my m9020-2 hollowtech2 26-36 crankset, will i need a long cage for that configuration? gearing will be 2x11 on my setup.
