Interesting, a couple posts back another user tried it, and said it didn't work. Mind sharing some pictures?
Everywhere (official documents and people quotes) says 11-28 is maximum that SRAM Red etap but as you can see my setup is tight but works absolutely fine. I have a 52-36 crankset on the front also. The B screw isn't at its limit either, but anymore and it started to slip off the hanger.

Thanks for sharing. Shouldn't the picture show 32x52? The reason for a longer pulley cage is so that it takes up slack needed for a longer chain. Without a longer pulley cage the chain will be either too tight in the 32x52 combo or too long in the 11x36 combo.

I'm not at home at the moment to take a photo but 52-32 isn't an issue...nor the 11-36 combo. Although I obviously try not to do this out on the road!

I should have said 'too long in the 11x36 combo'.
Yes, I wouldn't use those extreme cross-chain combos on the road. I think when Sram lists the gear capacity of the RD it's based on the extreme cross-chain combos. They have to make sure that every gear combination works regardless of whether they are practical or not. If possible please show a picture of 11x36 and a picture of 32x52. Thanks.

Another quick question, considering all the cabling is internal on the Madone is it a waste to go Etap at the same price as DA Di2? I've always ridden Shimano but I am very intrigued by Etap.

Should do, just adjust the B screw accordingly

I can confirm that an 11-32T cassette will work with eTap. I just installed it on my 2015 Cervelo S5, and made no changes to the derailleur hanger or chain. I had an 11-28T cassette before. B-screw isn't all the way in, either. I wouldn't x-chain, but in the event you need a bail-out gear (which is why I gave this a go), 11-32T will work. Obviously, YMMV.

Yes exactly the same as me!
