Hi All-
My current gearing is 42/32/22 -- 11-34. The bike is used for AM/FR/DJ and I rarely use the 42. When in 32 and 11 my long cage XT hits the seat stay which drives me nuts. I want to go to BG/36/24 with 11-34.
Can I run this setup with a short or mid-cage 105 road derailleur?
Would this combo improve the shift performance?
Would sticking with the long-cage XT be better with the 36/24? I could obviously lose some links in the chain and maybe avoid the derailleur hitting the seat stay.
Thanks!
Scott
