I wonder if it's possible to swap out the cage on the V1 using the longer V2 cage? Has anyone tried it?
Also I saw one of the AliEx sellers having listed the eGR has having 50t max cog. So I'm wondering if this update has silently been implemented without anyone noticing?
I don't know, but about 2 months ago I ordered a replacement cage from 80's Designer Store and I haven't actually put it on yet. I'm going to go check it tonight to see if it's an exact replacement for the original or if there are any differences. I suspect the differences run much deeper than just a longer cage, though, since I don't even think the cage was fully removable and the parts I received were only one side of it (one of the reasons I didn't put it on yet).
Edit: I just pulled it out to compare, and the replacement cage I ordered is an exact copy of the original. Also, again, confirmed that it's really just one side of the cage so it's of limited use if I actually completely bork the cage in another crash.
