It can depend on the derailer you are using. Shimano’s more expensive derailers have a narrower space between the inner and outer plate than Shimano’s less expensive derailers. Cable tension and the limit screws play a role as well. If the cable is too tight and if the limit is set too far outboard, the derailer will be pushed out too far. For the low end, the cable may be too tight and the limit set to far outboard.
