Hi all,

I have bought a long cage rear mech by mistake. Will it work or just buy a new shorter one.

Cheers

It'll work, but will be longer

yes it'll work fine, you might need to extend the chain if you aren't replacing that too.

Cheers guys. Would you use it or buy another ? I can't exchange it as I bought it off here.
Thanks
