how comes a mates shiny new mondraker bouncy, that comes with regular 3 ring / cassette set up, gets away with a standard sram medium cage rear mech being fitted and not the "recommended" long cage???

they dont expect people to use big and big.
but if they do BANG goes the mech.
or it is in "range" what is the range? ( see the info in the FAQs)"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

My Coiler came with a medium caged XT mech running 44/32/22 rings and 11/32 cassette. Replaced it recently with a medium cage SLX. No issues so far.0

I run a short cage with a triple and get away with only a small amount of slack in little little, which i avoid like the plague...0

he gets full range of gears with little slack with 44/32/22 rings and 11/32 like El Cap. It just never occurred to me that you could get away with it. I might well experiment meself when rear mech replacement time comes.0

WHats the stated capacity of the mech?0

I'm assuming the standard SRAM medium cage range (37T i think), it appears to be a regular x7/x9 (i'd have to check)0
