Tech doc says GS (medium) cage has 35T capacity.
I want to run 36 & 22 double with 11-34 cassette, capacity needed 14 + 23 = 37T.
Before I click and book, will I have problems with the GS medium cage mech?
I'ts a Deore Shadow+.

    The chain may be a tad slack in small small, make sure e chain is sized properly and you'll minimise this, personally I'd go for it.

    Just what I was thinking.
    I know Shimano are a bit conservative with their capacity figures.
    Clicked it, booked it.
