hi all
right as some of you know i got hold of a gary fisher bitter frame
right want i want to do is sort the gears out i want to stick sram xo gear shifters on and also a sram xo rear derailleur
does any one know which front derailleur would work best as it looks like sram dont make a front derailleur to go with the two ( xo series)
i have a raceface evolve crankset (which i need to get fitted)
any body have any good ideas?
i did have a sram x5 front mech but it seemed to be to big and was rubbing on the tyre

any sram or shimano front mech will be fine."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

cheers nicklouse notice there are two sram x9 front mechs which one works better
and also what would you advise in terms of front mech0 -
it depends on what type of swing you need for your frame?
what is your current front mech?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

did have a sram x5 but its too big and didnt have much clearance from the back wheel so took it of0

Top or bottom swing? Probably bottom.
I'd get an XT that fits.0
