Subject: [CR]capacity of late SR rear derailleurs

Hi all. I was just plowing thru a site which claims that older generation SR rear derailleurs have a rear cog capacity of 29 teeth. Is this true? I had always thought that 26 was the max (if I'm real careful w/ chain length and don't cross chain I've gotten 28 teeth out of my 84 NR, but just barely). Jon
