But I see, that this is now termed a medium cage - I stand corrected. A summary of lengths and capacities can be found here: bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/7264/… | |

Search for RD-M786-SGS-L (long - 43T capacity) and RD-M786-GS-L (medium - 35T capacity). Also, medium and short cages are also the domain of all mountain and downhill riding nowadays. | |
