Unfortunately I am intending to use it on a triple, albeit a close ratio triple. 21t max cog size and 29t chain wrap.
Hmmm, maybe best to seek something reasonable like an ultegra 6500 short cage, it will perform my needs perfectly well.
Maybe a Wolftooth Roadlink? Specifically designed to increase the range of Shimano derailleurs. I just put one on my Ritchey so I could use a short-cage 7800 RD with a 12-30 cassette. I haven't tried it with a Sante RD - I just stick with 13-26 and a double in front.
