That’s what I suspected. Should be able to drop front to 36 (x11) - 86 GI. Not going far, just need to get it to the new cable, but want to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Might just try and ride in 36x11 for the lols and tape up the external cable to be safe.
If the end of the cable with the blob on is a few cm, you can run it through the rear mech only, tension the mech by hand and secure with the cable bolt as normal.
