Do I need a derailleur hanger extender?
Hey guys -

So I'm working on my vintage Bridgestone MB-3 1x11 conversion and the Box Two derailleur I bought won't shift into the three biggest cogs on the Box 11-46 cassette I bought along with it. It seems like the upper derailleur pulley wheel won't clear the cassette. Is this just because I'm testing it without a chain on it yet? Or do I need a derailleur hanger like this or this one?
