Daft question nr 1 - long cage & short cage
- Thread starter thejackal
- Start date
I think it's to do with your 'spread' of gears i.e. if you have a wide range of rings at the front and sprockets at the back (like most MTB's) then a long cage can cope with this better than short cage (which tend to be used by roadies).
I may be completely wrong though... it's just that was my assumption!

Short cage looks cooler.
(You shouldn't be using Big-Big anyway!)

yeah but if hes only running a 32 up front and 11-32 he might as well just use a short cage mech any more up front the long cage will be easier for shifting sounds weird but true
