Max Cog Size on 1998 9spd Veloce Derailleur

I know Campy says 26 tooth cog, but I’m using a 28 now no problem. Could I push it to 30 or 32 without a Wolftooth road link? With it?

I'm wondering when an update to the Explore will arrive. It's certainly due. I'm hoping they integrate some of the navigation features of the 530 into the Explore and increase the battery life.

Garmin Edge Touring v eTrex for GDMBR

What would you choose to use on this route? I’m not clear if the Edge Touring would work for the off road sections. It would work best for other rides I plan on the future.
