Yeah I made it work with a 11-40 cassette myself, all of them 5800-GS (+roadlink), 7000-GS and GRX810, I was just curious about this cassette as Shimano has no 11s offers between 11-34 and 11-40

the r7000 long cage RD was made to work with cassettes up to 40 or 42 a while back
ah I didn't know this and just bought a road link to run a 42t xt cassette, didnt think to try it first without

I seem to remember reading (maybe on road.cc?) the r7000 long cage RD was made to work with cassettes up to 40 or 42 a while back - think it was a pre-GRX article on how to gravelize Shimano's then current offering.
