Afternoon all, Im seriously considering a Cotic Solaris and I believe clearance on the rear is pretty tight with decent tyres on?

Is there a particular front mech which gives more clearance?

Cheers

Website says - Front Mech: 34.9mm (Top Pull)

Their own build just says XT

Maybe Ring Cy?

Yeah will do that. I thought I read somewhere about people taking a hacksaw to mechs to give more room?

Yes, XT, top pull and I cut off the bottom pull bit, still a bit tight especially with a 2.25" Ralph on the back, yet to try it in claggy mud...
