In this month's Cycling Plus the Specialized Sequoia Elite is tested.

I see it has a Sunrace 36t 11 speed cassette fitted along with a Shimano 105 GS rear derailleur. Obviously this exceeds the Shimano 'advisory' rear mech limits. Anybody know if Specialized have fitted a longer derailleur hanger to make this work? Any experience of how well it shifts?

I'm interested in this as it is a set up I'd like to try on my 2018 Cannondale Synapse.

Cheers
