  • 9 speed double direct mount front mech?

    Do these actually exist, or have I wasted my day looking for one?

    I have a double & bash ring set up, originally a triple. My old mech sat very high against my bash ring (34t) and just looked wrong. So I have bought a 2×10 SLX direct mount mech ( on LBS advice) which sits much better against the bash ring, but I can’t get it set up without rubbing on my chain. My bike sounds like a bag of spanners. So I assume I need a 9 speed mech. Can I find one on the web. No. Is 9 speed in the bin already?

    Advice please

    It’s not that it’s 10 speed, it’s that it’s for a double. The spacing on a 2x crank is different to a 3x one. Learn that yesterday 🙂 the double crank holds the rings slightly further out from the bb, hence your mech is rubbing.

    What bike is it for – specialized? They use the old e-type mech with the bracket removed for their DMD set up.

    I got an M665-E from bike-discount last summer – that’s the old double and bash specific cage front mech with the e-type fixing.

    Well worth hunting one down! Solved all my front mech issues on my camber.
