Actually, the B Screw did not make contact with the frame with the original 11-30 cassette installed, but that is what the bike came with from Jamis. Yes, even the one used by Jamis is outside the 28t limits for the 105 RD. I know it is outside Shimano's recommendations, but you do not offer a suggestion for a work around. Thanks for your time.
