Evening, bought a short cage type 2 x9 10 speed rear mech. Running an 11-36 on the rear 34t on the front. Now all writing I have seen on the mech say its compatible with a 36t ring. Although when I installed it it wouldnt go up to the 36t at the back. The cage was almost parallel to the ground. Is this because I measured the chain wrong? Measured using front ring round big ring at back not through mech.

Any advice?

Did you add 2 links to this? If not, your chain is too short.

Definitely sounds like the chain is too short
