I agree, Jim. Totally valid but a "pro tip".
It also depends on the rear derailleur; some MTB RDs have enough chain
takeup for a very long chain.
On my Riv ('97 Road Standard), I have a 52/42/30 road triple and an 11-34
cassette. The Shimano RD-M772-SGS (long cage) can handle enough chain for
Big-Big only if you have a double. On a triple, if you use your gears
contentiously, you'd never ride big-big anyway. (This advice for RBWers and
other experienced riders only, FWIW).
I'm using combinations past the capacity of the my current derailer so the
only real requirement in my mind is

To be clear; you will need to lengthen the chain and possibly the cables
when you install the larger cassette. Big cog to big chainring, plus two
links.
Benz is trying to say that you can do those things without the Roadlink,
and that installing the Roadlink shouldn't change those
ah, i didnt realize it wouldn't need chain and cable lengthening.

I wouldn't expect any problems. My Ultegra 6700GS road derailleur does fine
with a 36t cog without RoadLink or extra long B screw.

My wife's touring bike has 10-speed XT on it, and the long arm rear
derailleur was able to cope with a 42t extender cog just by winding the B
screw all the way in. The chainrings are 40-28.

Interesting all around. I'm trying to save myself having to set it up and then
order a roadlink, wait for delivery and re set up. I'm just excited to ride
this bike and not wanting to wait.
Anyway, I just ordered the wolftooth since it sounds like in the least, it
won't hurt.

I put a 42t cog on a 10 speed cassette with a medium cage mountain
derailleur. I did NOT have to use a long screw, and only had to remove a
small, plastic retainer to allow the original screw to be inserted
further. I've had this set-up on my stock surly krampus for a few years
now with no
like jay said, you need a long b screw, or a road link. i prefer the road

I'm pretty sure you won't get the 9-speed Deore XT to shift to a 40 without
the Roadlink or at least a very long B screw.
I used a Roadlink to run an 11-40 rear with a 46/30 front on a 2x touring
bike, which worked great, but 46 is about as big as you'll be able to go in
the front--the 44
