Are all direct mount Shimano front mechs the same 'drop'. Can't seem to get it low enough on a Mega TR275. Going 2x10.

Not necessarily, there are many options in each line of dmounts, whether the one you're using has more than a 2x or 3x option depends on the model. Whats the issue? rubbing in small small on a double?

No, they are chainring size specific, what size rings are you running?

Don't know what mech your running, any reason why wouldn't this work?

This is a close as you'll get but only has a capacity of 12, ideally you need a capacity of 14.

Tried Sram?
