Shimano XT M785 10 Speed Double Front Derailleur is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fixed the front derailleur issues I had with an old SRAM. Fairly east to install, positive shifting and hopefully long lasting based on previous experience with XT front derailleurs
Date published: 2020-10-20
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fits on nicely and shifts as it is supposed to. All good,
Date published: 2018-08-03
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Seizes in winter conditions I've owned two of these and both have lasted only a single winter, succumbing to corrosion and seizing. I don't live in a particularly winter environment (Scotland). Wet, yes, but not a lot of salt. Easy to install and set up otherwise, and work just like a front derailleur should. I'd pay more for a corrosion-resistant product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bargain at £17.99 It shifts faultlessly and looks better than the high clamp versions. Comes with the shims to fit smaller seat tubes (mines fitted to a 28.9mm seat tube). The cable can be run from the top or bottom of the seat tube so it's versatile too.

Typo in my last question the post dia is 32.8mm the crank is an 38T/26T shimano xt

Is this ok for that crank? Also, there isn't much room to slide it down the post if that looks like a problem what other option might be suitable?
Asked by: Ouchthathurt
In this case, the Multi Fit, Dual Pull option should be suitable for you.

Can I replace a sram X7 S3 front derailleur with this? I have a 2013 Specailized epic carbon comp and need a new front derailleur

Asked by: Teddy1
Sadly you will require a SRAM groupset front mech I'm afraid. This is due to the pull ratio.

Will this deraileur work on an XT 38/26T crank? 38.2mm dia post?

it doesn't look like I can slide the band down the post far enough for it to work? Previous crank was a triple, which I have changed for a double. i now need to change the front mech to suit. What do you think, also config would be bottom pull. I also need to be sure that the multifit band will fit the post which is 38.2mm dia.
Asked by: Ouchthathurt
Unfortunately this derailleur is only compatible with seat tubes up to 34.9mm.

Shimano xt double front mech

Does the mech come with the BB mounting bracket etc or will it fit directly to the pre existing one on my bike which was for an SLX FD M660 E. if not is it possible to buy the appropriate mount? Cheers, Steve
Asked by: BRATSteve
This does not come with the mount though does come with the bolts to mount to your existing one, though the mounts themselves are not available from us I am afraid.
