currently running m960 cranks. 34t ring is close to the chainstay, but just clears. I want to go 36t in the front for more chain wrap.

I'm looking @ m785 XT 2x cranks and wondering if I'll have the clearance w/ a 36t ring. Any thoughts?

Other option is to use the outer holes on a 3x, but the m785s are pretty sexy.

On my rigormootis I am running a 35 on ss stylo cranks and could clear up to about 38t. On my RSL I might be able to clear 35 max on my slx crankset in middle ring position.

so given that the 2X outer ring position is a bit further out that the middle of a 3X, but not as far out as a 3X outer, a 36 may clear. I really need to find these cranks in town and do a test fit.

k29er,
Yes, I would test out that set up before committing to it. We haven't tried all combos of all makes of cranks/ring set ups.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Will do. I found a friend w/ the cranks and I'll have the ring tomorrow. Looking forward to the test. Will post results.

All clear! FC-M785 +36t outer ring is all good on my 2010 MootoX YBB SS.
