    If it’s a tiny bit of comfort, you probably don’t need a new derailleur, just a new cassette with the right spacing. The mech itself will likely work with different cable-pull, as long as you’re not drastically changing the number of sprockets on the cassette

      I know.

      It’s a Tiagra 4700 (works really fucking well, actually) which is 10-speed, but it for some ass-backwards reason uses 11-speed cable pull (but with the actuation for a 10-speed cassette), which isn’t disclosed anywhere.

      So it’ll work as-is with any 11-speed shifter, as long as you make sure the mech stops are set so you can’t shift off the cassette.
