Yes, the hanger is measured c-c. A velobase comment here states they've used w/34t cog no problem. https://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=5446F34B-FD3D-40A2-8C95-1E6AE5B573A1 As for capacity, pushing limits on many bike things is okay, but not in a RD for total capacity. The way to work with it is if and only if you're aware enough to never use a big/big combo. While I would say that's common sense, not everyone understands that. The mfr capacities assume a user has no such discernment.. So if your big ring is say 46 teeth and the cassette ends with say 28-34 teeth, you use the 28 as your capacities largest cog measuring point. Just don't forget that or you're SOL ! Even then, it likely wouldn't go into that cog easily, which is a warning to heed. On say a nine speed cassette, I never use the largest two cogs anyways as the friction from the angle is not something I can live with but for a brief time. On my seven speed FW's I can use the six of the cogs in the big ring of a double. On Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 7:01:54 PM UTC-4 [email protected] wrote:
