Howdy, all -

I have a SunTour V Luxe rear derailleur in my parts bin I wish to use. The stated maximum cog size is 24T, and chain wrap is also 24T. Because the bike I plan to use this on requires a claw adapter, can I get it to manage a 26T cog if I use a longer claw? The freewheel and chainring combo I have in mind requires only 21T chain wrap. Is this possible, or should I just hang the long-caged V-GT Luxe on the bike and live with the extra chain length, cage, etc.?

In case it matters, I am thinking of running 39/47 x 13-26 Suntour Ultra-spaced 6-speed.

Thanks!
