I need a new mech and have just recently gone over to riding 32 single ring on the front and 11-34 rear on a SC BLT2.
Would a GS short gage like this [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shimano-RD-M771-XT-GS-rear-derailleur-top-normal-/260901894508?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3cbef6f96c ]ONE[/url] be suitable or would the short gage saint be better?
Opinions please?
My opinion is that you will probably want to swap the front ring quickly for a 34 or 36. Regarding a new mech, short is good, have a look at new XTR with the clutch - I've heard they are so good you don't need a chain device!
My hardtail has a Renthal 36 on the front and XT 34 - 11 on the back using a Superstar XC single. Works a treat but I'm hoping to get a mech as above.
Have fun.
