Oct 26, 2016 at 19:00 comment added david1024 I don't think that updating this answer is reasonable--It changes every year. With the recent rise of the compact double for road (50/30 and 50/34's...) coupled with 10/11 speed cassettes... (Campy has an 11spd 11-32 ROAD cassette in 2016) medium-load touring is possible without needing a triple!

Aug 7, 2015 at 15:11 comment added Craig Hicks I am running (and apparently it is common to do so) a road triple chainring (50/39/30) with an MTB derailleur (SGS=long) and sprocket (11-34).
Jun 10, 2015 at 23:08 comment added Craig Hicks It's 2015 and Shimano short cage derailleurs are seemingly intended to work with 11-28 cassettes (at least for 10 speed). The original question asked for references, and that would be useful to see the updated information.
Sep 5, 2013 at 12:35 comment added cherouvim A lot of MTB cassettes now have a max cog of 36 teeth. Care to update your answer?
Dec 9, 2011 at 18:50 comment added Darth Egregious Excellent answer. Exactly what I was looking for. I suppose it would be wishful thinking to find similar information for defunct manufacturers (e.g. exage, ofmega) anywhere. It should be within the same ballpark though. Thank you.
