Hi,
Building up a bike and using XT running gear.
The question I have is concerning the Rear Derailleur RD-M760 GS and the Cassette CS-760 AS (11-34T).

When on the 34T cog there appears to be little room for the Derailluer pully wheel is this normal or are the above not trully compatible ?

    tweak the tension screw to get a bit more

    As maddog2 says. Dial in the tension screw on the back of the rear mech. That should sort it.
    well, yes <i>and</i> no......but mainly no.

    The closer the derailleur is to the cassette, the better the shifting. Worry only if it's touching.

    (Correct me if I'm wrong, please)

    the 2 pivots mean that the top pulley will pull back away from the large cog.


    what you may notice is a more pronounced feeling of the pulleys, chain and cogs running against each other . . . but its fine.
