Hi all,

Im running a double and bash setup on SLX cranks (24T,32T) and need a conventional top pull mech for it, bearing in mind I may change to a 36t outer ring. Im also running a 3x10 shifter, will this need to go if im running a specific 2x10 front mech ?

Will one of these work ?

Just that it mentions "44-38 tooth outer ring compatible, total capacity 14 teeth" ?

Thanks

A 2x10 just doesn't have the range of a 3x10 mech, think the cage is a little shorter on the 2x10 too.

I am selling an LX top pull front mech ion the classified that woul prob suit you, but its a 3x10., just need to set the limit screws and your sorted, don't need a2x10 shifter.
