Will the below chainset - I'd choose 27T-39T.

Work with this front mech? Unisize dual pull.

The reason I ask is that the XT double chainset is £50.00 more expensive and this will look bloody gorgeous on my bike compared to the non polished silver XT.

Can't see why it wouldn't. Getting replacement rings might be a pita though?

I really wouldn't get that chainset, personally I think it looks horrible, but the main reason is getting replacement chainrings. Have you checked to see if they are easy to come by and for how much?

I would get the silver XT here: http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/mtb-parts/transmission-gears/chainsets-mtb/shimano-m785-xt-10-speed-double-chainset.html

£128 after the extra discount.

Replacement rings look hard to come by and that XT C/set is a very lovely price.

Cheers guys!

James.
