I found someone selling the set of this, but I am worried about my chain wrap cog size etc...
My maximum rear cog is 28 and the sprint RD is rated for 23 for the maximum.
In the front the difference is 14 and the suntour fd recommends 13
For the back one the difference is 15 the sprint one is 13.
Is this possible to do? I have read sheldon browns blurb about chain wrap (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_ca-g.html#capacity) and how this this number they come up for rating derailleurs is less than actually possible. And I am fairly confident that this will work. But a second opinion is always nice.
So any thoughts? Or should I just spend about 40$ or so more for ultrega derailleur set.
