Yes, the derailleur is extended quite a bit to the front in the big-big combination, but neither the derailleur nor any other part is in danger of being damaged, and one shouldn't use the big-big combination anyway (it's inefficient and bad for the chain). There are pros and cons to shortening the chain. Michael's and Criggie's answers are both reasonable. | |

| Sep 8, 2023 at 12:12 | comment | added | Michael | Why you should make it shorter: In your photos in the big-big combination it looks like your derailleur still allows a good amount of movement and in the small-small combination there is very little (too little) tension. I think you can even see that the chain is sagging slightly. | |
