Re: [RBW] Re: Ultegra 9spd long cage range

2023-12-20 Thread Bill Lindsay 
For what it's worth, the Long Cage RD-6500 rear derailleur is rated for a 
27T max cog.  The Short Cage RD-6500 is rated for a 28T max cog.  A couple 
people in this thread seem to think that a long cage means it'll shift to a 
larger cog, and that is not the case with the RD-6500.  The long cage and 
short cage versions have the same parallelogram, which is the main thing 
that determines max cog.  The long cage just gets you more capacity, which 
is the ability to take up slack.  So the long cage version is a better 
choice if you are running a triple, but the two versions will take about 
the same max cog.  

I can show my 
receipts: 
https://si.shimano.com/en/pdfs/si/53Z0D/SI-53Z0D-000-00-ENG.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1qgzLw3ODQ8zfvUx6pY8oPpTThCXR2s_Hb3nwBLxBfy1USHnUCMRAT5R0

If a short cage 6500 will barely take a 32, then a long cage 6500 will also 
barely take a 32 on the same bike, but not a lot more

Re: [RBW] Re: Ultegra 9spd long cage range

2023-12-20 Thread Patrick Moore 
Long ago I used a short cage 8-speed Ultegra rd, on a long mtb hanger, to
shift a 14-32 7-speed cassette; it worked fine tho' it was rather stretched
out in the 48 and middle cogs, you could use the 26 t granny only with the
biggest cogs, and it grumbled when shifting to the 32 in the middle 38 t
ring when the mech got covered in sand. But the point is, if a short cage
can handle 32 in back then for a long cage it ought to be a doddle.

Holy smokes, all our bikes are set up with 9-speed mid-cage Shimano rd’s

handles almost any crazy thing in back.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ultegra 9spd long cage range

2023-12-19 Thread Peter White 
You can get it to work with the larger cogs, up to 32 teeth, but when you
do that the shifting on the smaller cogs will suffer, depending on their
size, as the upper pulley will be too far from the cogs. I get excellent
shifting across the entire range with a 30 tooth large cog and 14 tooth
small, but that's the limit, unless you're OK with sluggish shifting at the
small end. The problem is you have to tighten the "B" screw too much in
order to clear the largest cogs, resulting in the upper pulley being too
far from the 11 or 12. I suspect that if I had a 12 tooth small cog it
wouldn't shift well, but I haven't tested that as a 12 tooth small cog
would never get used, at least not by me. ;-)

Generally, with Shimano road derailleurs the short and long cage versions 
usually had about the same max cog specification, around 27 or 28t. The 
difference was that the longer cage one had enough capacity that it could 
handle a triple in front. 

The general consensus around here is that Shimano derailleur capacity/max 
cog specifications are usually a little bit on the conservative side, and 
many have successfully used them with larger rear cogs than those for which 
they were specified. If it were mine, I'd be tempted to see if it could
