  Capacity of the mech. Front big minus small minus big rear minus small will tell you

  If I understand if correctly, then 35. 26/38 = 12 11/34 = 23
  
  CRC says 35t capacity for GS, which is medium I think? SGS is long?

  Yes and yes......Strictly in Shimano speak GS is long and SGS is extra long, but in plain English its medium and long!

  Cool, cheers.
  I guess just putting short, medium and long on the mech is too difficult. :roll:

  Yup.......The trouble was that historically they had short and long, so as not to cause confusion they added extra long rather than make the old long into the new medium - I'm not sure it worked (not causing confusion!).
