So, I would like to move to a Shimano Ultegra 9spd short cage derailler, but I'm not sure about the capacity. The derailler has a 29 teeth capacity. On my bike I'm running a super compact double (46-30) and a 12-27 cassette, thus--if I'm calculating correctly--I need a RD with a 31 teeth capacity. So, the question is whether I can use an ultegra short cage (they look SOOO much better than long cage models) with this set up?
