etap question

[vqdriver]

I know it's not wifli, but I also know you can fudge that with mech systems to work with larger cogs in back.

any idea if the etap rear can be adjusted as well? nothing crazy like a 1x system, but maybe a 32?

Apparently the limiting factor is the battery unit so perhaps not.

Please explain this... I'm not sure I'm following that reason. With all other derailleurs its a geometry thing, either the arm is long enough to take up the chain or not or the "b" screw can give you enough clearance for the big cog or not...

The initial wifli and Shimano used an mtb cage on a road mech for testing purposes only ;)

There are reports that it works with 11-30 out of the box.

I was reporting hearsay a friend told me so I'm not an expert but I'd been told the placement of the battery had the potential to interfere with shifting across wider cassettes. Essentially a variation on the 'b' screw issue. I don't know.
