moving over to Shimano from Sram, can anyone tell me what XTR front mech i need for the frame
cheers
From the FAQ
A: All dw-link Turner's use a 34.9mm, Top-pull, Bottom-swing, Traditional Clamp.
Top-swing will NOT work. All Dual-Pull derailleurs must be modified, due to the bottom-pull arm as it will contact the chainstay yoke under full compression. Go to our tech page for information on how to modify Dual-Pull derailleurs.
No modification is needed for the following derailleur(s):
SRAM X9, Top-pull Only, # 00.7615.014.000
SHIMANO XT 2x band-type FD-M786 Top Pull
SHIMANO XT 3x band-type FD-M781 Top Pull
I took the saw to an xtr dual pull for my old flux. It feels a bit wrong, but once it is installed you will never know.
I consoled myself with the thought it was even lighter... 🙂
I also read the instructions several times before taking the saw to the mech!
Cheers, will mod one
