Thanks QV and T-Mar
You've confirmed what I suspected, that this RD may be assembled using a Deore cage. Yup, the cage clears the 28t second cog just fine but rides on the 32t first cog. I guess that's why it's loose. The long cage may be overkill, for sure, but a mid cage may have an advantage for a bike with vertical dropouts.

Thanks

Jim
