    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…

    Got a SRAM one on mine. No cutting down and works fine
