Was messing around in the garage and created this monstrosity. Actually shifts amazing up and down the cassette but the chain line is pretty bad. Will I have issues long term if I run this?
Way too much stress on the derailleur pivot imo. Also, too much stress on the chain.

Is that 10-50? Or 52t? I have 46t on my Apex but this looks about 3 seconds away from exploding.

I would argue. It depends on how it looks in the smallest gear.
If in the smallest gear, the derailer cage is parallel with the rest of the chain, then you are maxed out. Cause of this you’ll probably run into a few issues with chain were as well as derailer were pretty quickly.
Other wise if the derailleur is still hanging low then as a link or two and see how it shifts. You may be able to pull it off.
