That was referring to Chorus in a 2x system with an Cassette that is 13S with existing overall range which goes from 11/29-11/34 (I forgot that 11/34 can work with Record and SR).

You need a different geometry for 1x system as the difference between the big gear and small gear is usually a lot more than in an 2x system.

However if you think the RD would have to follow a different path in an 2x13s system that goes from 11 to 34 in the rear, vs 12s in the same amount of space - please enlighten us.
This will be my last post as I thought it was a friendly conversation.

Per my earlier comments, I don’t think a 13spd 11-34 cassette would fit between the spokes and the dropout. I think Ekar (like other systems) has the large sprocket cantilevered over the hub flange and a 34 may not be large enough to fit. I think you need to go larger than 34 to make it fit with current chain widths creating a cassette that’s not very desirable for 2x drop bar bicycles.

Carry on...
