My Sam came with a 113 and the XD2 triple, and with an LX fd it all worked perfectly. When I transferred the bb, crankset, and fd to the wider stayed Fargo, it continued to work perfectly (well, except for sucking the chain when the chain was dirty, but throw was never a problem). I now use the same 113 and LX with the now-double XD2, now a Bashguard/38/24, and still it works fine. In all 3 applications the fd had throw room to spare.
What fds are y'all using who have this problem? On Fri, Jun 21, 2013 at 8:52 PM, Jay in Tel Aviv <jayin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ben, > > Your comment about spindle length is interesting.
