Thinking of running a dual ring setup on the front (currently only 1 ring) and wondering what is the biggest difference in chainring sizes you can have on a normal mech? 22 -34 is usual but can you go to 22-36 or something?
also seen this mech: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=27691
which says its suitable for dual rings 22-36. can I use 24-38 instead? I guess it just comes down to moving the mech up and down the seat tube?

You can do these ratios, but not ideal. New SLX double sorts this out. Or maybe that saint.
Carefully check the numbers.
Though... in a pinch what you have with a tweak is often good ;-)0 -
a tweak? how easy is it to mod it to make it more suitable?
went n bought a deore mech for £14 for the cheapness but now thinking i should've gone with the double!0 -
