After not touched my front shifter for months, it's time to go 1x10.
Going to get a sram type 2 mech to help tighten things up.
Question is; will a short cage cope with a 36t on the cassette?
Appreciate the help....

    What's confusing?

    It needs to be able to handle a change in size of 25 (assuming 11t small) and be able to handle a max of 36t biggest sprocket
