A question regarding a new road bike build and rear mechs:
Should I get a short or mid cage derailleur? I can get around my Essex loops with 39/28 but I think I’d struggle on anything more challenging or with longer climbs.
So would you recommend a mid cage derailleur with standard chainset or a short cage with compact? Or is mid cage with compact the ultimate for variability?
I heard the pros all ride mid cage now anyway. Help
