<p>Hi Erik,</p>
<p>I used one of these a couple years ago and it worked great even in the mud pits at John Bryan. <a href="http://gevenalle.com/product/burd-rear-derailleur/" target="_blank">http://gevenalle.com/product/burd-rear-derailleur/</a> </p>
<p></p>
<p>I've run it with a single ring and a 11-34 in the back. I never pushed its capacity limits while using a double though. On paper a 11-32 with a 44-38 might work. You'd be getting a low tension chain when you get close to the small-small…</p>

<p>Are you running single or double ring? If single any Shimano rear derailleur will fit a 32t rear cassette.</p>
<p>If you cut the chain to the right length*, have an adequate chain keeper** and good dismount technique you'll be fine with any derailleur. I've used a wide variety over the years (with a 28t) with no problems. They do all tend to wear out after maybe 3-4 years.</p>

<p>** I've used a few systems but for the money (and performance) you can't beat a BBG bash guard and N Gear Jump Stop keeper up front. You can Tom Hopper it for extra security if you like. <a href="http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2009/12/15/1260869251527-19x81mr5l6l1k-630-80.jpg" target="_blank">http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2009/12/15/1260869251527-19x81mr5l6l1k-630-80.jpg</a></p>
