This will give you more than enough capacity. You will also need to replace the chain since the larger cog will require a longer chain.
I don't think that SRAM has made a road RD that won't handle a 27t cog.

As an aside, you and I have probably the only two Look 585s (mine's an Optimum) in a 500 mile radius.
