Short Cage rear mech for 12-27 sprocket

felix.london

Some advice please.

Am I right in thinking that a short cage rear mech like this;

Will be fine for a 12-27 cassette like this;

Maybe maybe not.

Fot what its worth, shimano road mechs work with 27 tooth cassettes. You may be able to get a tiagra or 105 model cheaper than the 95 quid saint jobbie.

What do you have on the front? Range is biggest-smallest front + biggest-smallest rear.

It'll be a 36T single ring up front

Then set it in the correct mode and use.

Only giving half the info will never get you an answer until everyone has ESP. fitted as standard.

fwiw, I run a triple (road) 30/39/50 with 11-28 with a standard cage Ultegra. Hope that may help to confirm your question.

Short cage X7 absolutely fine on a FS with a 36T chainring and 11-28 cassette. Also works fine on a HT with 32T chainring and 11-32 cassette.
