Interesting…thanks for the link! I wonder how Shimano determines what one of their detailers is capable of shifting? In other words, if they believe a derailer (lets say its an Altus, for example) is good for up to a 36 low cog, maybe they say it’s only good for up to a 34 tooth low cog, to give themselves some “wiggle room”? I’ve heard for years that many different derailers can, potentially, shift lower than their stated limitations.
