failing that you've got the wrong mech

why would the slx cranks cause that issue?

34.9 clamp Top pull conventional double front mech is the type you need to run

Top Swing f mech no good on Mega you need conventional top/dual pull double mech.

No idea I've MTFU'ed up a long time ago and run single ring up front

I suggest you remove the bash, the outer and middle ring. cut the spider off and only run the granny ring.

that way you have a good weight saving and is maintenance free

The 3 sp front mech will have a longer cage than the double specific f mech - so lower end of cage will bottom out with a 3sp?

(Excuse the mini-hijack)

To those that are running single ring here, what chainring are you running, and how do you find it for climbing?

The reason I ask, is that I used to run a 6Point, set up 36/22 and have shifted the same rings onto the Mega. I don't think I could only run the 36, as I don't use it for uplifts/DH (and seem to end up pushing/carrying enough).

So, how do folk find a 32 or 34t?
