I've got a 6700 groupset with a compact crankset. I want to use the bike for a credit card tour, so I'll be travelling light.

I'm 99% sure the rear mech will be short cage. I'm thinking I'll need a 30t or 32t on the rear cassette (currently have a 12-28 which I'm guessing will be too low?).

So the question is, will I be able to use a 32t cassette on a short cage? The Internet answer seems to be maybe. I will only have a day, maybe 2 to sort out any problems before I leave so I'd rather not risk anything to chance.

Is my best option to just pony up for a long cage rear? Like this one:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shimano-Ultegra-RD-6700-GS-Road-Bike-Rear-Derailleur-For-Triple-Silver-/111658926520?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19ff6401b8

But maybe better idea I have a new spare in North London which you can have for £30, say £25 and a beer?

Sorry a spare long cage RM or a large tooth cassette?

That would be good, but I'd need it delivered to Angel or to be able to pick it up in the late afternoon of 28 May.

(I'm out of the UK, not just awkward)

@miro_o cheers
