For what it's worth, the Long Cage RD-6500 rear derailleur is rated for a
27T max cog. The Short Cage RD-6500 is rated for a 28T max cog. A couple
people in this thread seem to think that a long cage means it'll shift to a
larger cog, and that is not the case with the RD-6500. The long cage a
Long ago I used a short cage 8-speed Ultegra rd, on a long mtb hanger, to
shift a 14-32 7-speed cassette; it worked fine tho' it was rather stretched
out in the 48 and middle cogs, you could use the 26 t granny only with the
biggest cogs, and it grumbled when shifting to the 32 in the middle 38 t

Holy smokes, all our bikes are set up with 9-speed mid-cage Shimano rd’s
and all handle 33 front / 32 rear with aplomb. I would think long-cage
handles almost any crazy thing in back.

I use it with an 11-32 cassette (friction shifting) and it works fine. I
originally used it with a wolf tooth road link but realised it didn’t need
it so now run it without. No problems.

You can get it to work with the larger cogs, up to 32 teeth, but when you
do that the shifting on the smaller cogs will suffer, depending on their
size, as the upper pulley will be too far from the cogs. I get excellent
shifting across the entire range with a 30 tooth large cog and 14 tooth
small,
I too have used it with a 11-32 and it worked fine.

A wolf tooth road link can help provide clearance for the larger cogs
should you run into issues.

I am running an 11-32 cassette with a long cage and it indexes fine.
