    Hi all.
    I have the upgrade bug and I’m going 2×10 on my cube aim. My question is regarding the rear mech and what size I would need to order?
    Thanks

    Yep, XT Shadow+ medium cage with 11-36 XT cassette and double chainset works perfectly for me.

    General rules;
    short – single DH, narrow cassette
    Medium – double
    Long – triple
    … but on wide 1×10 or 1×11 long generally required.

    Medium is fine on 1×11, long is absolutely unnecessary.

    long would only possibly be needed on a wide 2×10 or 2×11. Never on a single front ring.

    I’m a bit New to this, what do you mean by wide 2×10?
