Yo, building up my 29er, got an XT M785 front mech, low mount 2 x 10, but the bulky swing mechanism fouls the tyre.
Had a look at some other mechs on mates bikes (9 speed triples) that definitely have much less bulk between the clamp and the tyre.
Anyone know which 2 x 10 spd mechs have less bulk so therefore more clearance? I'm guessing this has been a common problem on some 29ers!
Cheers guys
The relevent Shimano Side-swing mech will do the job for you.
I've got one of [url= http://http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-xt-m786-conventional-2x10-front-mech/rp-prod67203 ]these[/url] on my Solaris, as recommended by Cotic.
Cheers guys, but aren't side swing front routed cables only? My frame is too routed cabling.
Chipster, linky no worky dude?

Sorry, op, what Zippy said ^.
It's dual pull, so top or bottom pull.
If you frame has a bottle cage mo7nt on the downturn then a couple of cable clips can be fitted there and will work well with a sideswing mech.
For reference/anyone else searching, I ended up with an X9, traditional band on. Gives more clearance as the bulk is offset to the outside of the seat tube. Think XX is similar if anyone cares 🙂
I do, thanks. Got a similar issue with my Highball frame.
Yes X9 is the answer, needed this with Turner 5spot HL.
Awesome, glad it helped. XO traditional style is a similar design too
