If you already have the 105 RD, then try it and it might work. Don't buy one, though, as it is not adequate for the job, specs-wise. I don't remember the particulars, but I did not go willingly to an mtb RD for a road bike, except no road components were supposed to work (road cassettes are not that big, as you know)
No I don't have the RD yet. But if the specs match my setup then it should be ok(?). Total capacity matches with the 37 on the Shimano site and the front ring difference (as CACycling mentioned) is within the spec.
I know there is no "road" cassette but I will be using a "MTB" cassette.
