I have a road bike frame with pretty thick drop outs, have been running 10 speed sram no problem, but when trying to upgrade the rear to 11spd, found the derailleur was unable to move far enough inboard to shift to the biggest sprocket. Tried both a 10 speed force mech and an 11 speed rival 22 mech, same story, the drop out is just so thick it puts the derailleur body too far outboard for its geo to accommodate.
Any ideas on some mods I can do to make it work? A MTB under the drop out style derailleur possibly?
