Planning a Silvio build for travel, and was hoping to use the Force Etap wireless system, but the RD range is a little light for what I want to use for gearing. I would like to use the 12 speed 10-33t cassette with a 46/30 chain ring set for a total range of 39t. The Force/Red eTap RD list 36t for the medium cage RD. But if I understand the programing possible with this system you can program it to shift to the little front ring prior to getting to the big rear gear. If the worst case would be 2nd gear 28t, prior to shifting to the 30t front chain ring, then the range I would have to worry about is only 34t, and the medium RD would work.
If this won't work, then I would need to get an Eagle RD which has a 40t range long cage, but this would cost a lot more to buy everything separately, and the Eagle RD is already more expensive, so a big price difference!
Can anyone confirm that you can program the system to never allow a big/big gearing combo? Any issues using this system on a Cruzbike?
Thanks in advance
