Deraileur Cage Length ?

[HLaB]

My rear derailleur cage (105) snapped on the ride today the cage is approximately 102mm (4inches) does anybody know if that is a short or medium cage ?

In Campagnolo terms that would be a "long" cage - medium is 72mm but not sure if this helps

If its any help the cage is stamped FF and has a sticker in it FM, it doesn't help that the Shmano tech site doesnt work for 5600 :-( I inclined to order a short cage as I'm running an 11-26 cassette and it'll handle it.

Perhaps you should check - even long is only 86mm or so.

Cheers, I was measuring outside to outside, not centre to centre, its only 50mm there, so it does indeed look like a short cage.

I have a 105 rear mech which is "long". It measures approx 75mm centre to centre.
