Is there a way to use it close to the axle end of the chainstays, behind where the gear cable is in the rea housing loop? If not, don't fret about the gear wire as long as you're not in low gear. Puhing it in by the stand will shorten it slightly moving the RD in a bit. You can test this with your finger. So, as long as you're not in low, it has plenty of room to give. Unfortunately, it means that you can't ue the tand for adjusting you gears.
