MTB double front mech

monster-mash

Removed my outer and added a bash now looking to up the teeth by two on granny and middle. I can now reduce the chain size would also like to fit a double front shifter as the current looks a little large and perched on top of the bashring. Anyone done this all I can see are Saints for sale.

you just use your current one. and fit it in the correct position for the shift positions you are using.

You can use pretty much any front mech with a double ring set up - you simply wind in the outer limit stop and don't use the third shift.

Shimano do however do an 'optimised' front mech with the SLX groupset for a 14 tooth jump from 22 to 36.

I'd just use what you have and adjust it though.

I will give it go

Would help if they had stock.
I would just use a normal mech and spend the £30 on something more fun.
