Hi everyone,
I need some advice on my current rando/mtb build I’m working on.
I have a Shimano XT RD-M773 SGS rear derailleur and a FD-M771-10 front derailleur designed for a 2×10 drivetrain and a 11-36t cassette. I’ve read that the front derailleur can handle a maximum chainring size of 42T. However, my current largest chainring is 48T.
Rear: 11-36t 10x cassette
Front 32 and 48 chainrings
Questions:
- Do I need to replace my front derailleur to properly accommodate the 48T chainring?
- If yes, which front derailleur would you recommend for this setup? (MicroShift frictionless mtb bar end shifters)
- Are there any other compatibility issues I should be aware of?
I’ve attached a photo of my current front derailleur for reference.
Thanks in advance for your help!
