It's not about length, it's about their capacity or range. Rule of thumb. Single ring front, short. 2, medium. Triple, long0

Ah, ok.
Does it matter if for example, I bought a large, for a two ring bike ?0 -

The range will be specified on the tech docs/site. Range is (number of teeth big ring-small ring) + (big cog-small cog)
So as long as it has a greater range it will work.I don't do smileys.

Hmmm..all fine and well if you know what you're talking about :roll:
So a simple yes or no to this question.
With a 42-27 on the front and cassette 11-36, will a long cage rear mech work ?0 -
Probably, but not fact. You must check the maker's manual.0

There is also info in the Tech FAQ in the Tech forum.0
