32 tooted sprocket....a wee bit of help

rouleur23

Hi, I would like to know if my short cage will deal with a 32t rear sprocket please? Thanks.

very, very unlikely..

Hmmm no, just unlikely but possible.

I have run an 11-32 50-34 (all 105 5800 series) set in the Alps with an short cage rear dérailleur without issues - for 2 annual visits now

I needed to adjust the B Screw and even with that it just caressed the 32t Cassette - slight ticking noise only. I did not run the big-big (50-32) gear though

When in the UK I remove it and run a 11-28 (as the hills are not as long)

Yes works well. Did this 500 miles ago and no issued. Just don't go big to big. Adjust b screw only

go 1x and it can work fine.

Great news. I will give it a try then. Thanks

Replace your existing two/three chainrings with one "narrow/wide" chainring eg. for a year I replaced the 24/38T chainrings on my Wazoo with a 34T OnOne Ringmaster, in combination with an 8-speed 11-30... Until I discovered Dell Road in SO18 that hits ~20+% and made my knees sore!
