By my calculations, I'm within the overall capacity of the 105 mech but a wee bit concerned I made a boo-boo by not noticing the max sprocket size. Should I be cancelling the order? Or will it work fine?</p> <p>Here's <a href="http://www.evanscycles.com/products/shimano/rd-5701-105-10-speed-rear-derailleur-short-cage-ex-display--ec107409">the spec on Evans</a> </p>
