Re: [RBW] Re: Max Tooth Cog on an 8 speed Deore XT Rear Derrailer?
I really want to get a 36 and see if it works. Thanks for the responses. I picked up an almost new one today to start downgrading from indexed 10 to friction 8. 10 speed chains are just to dainty for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Max Tooth Cog on an 8 speed Deore XT Rear Derrailer?
Come to think of it, a buddy runs an 11-34 8 speed with a low end Shimano RD. Don't recall what but it's nothing even close to Deore XT grade. Worth a shot.

Shimano is conservative about such things. If it says 32 you can likely go 34. My Atlantis came with a Deore XT & easily cleared a 32. Never ran a 34 until after I'd worn it out & replaced with a Microshift. If it doesn't clear the 34 with the supplied "B" screw turned all the way in, you can always put in a longer one. Sheldon has something about that on his site under "rear derailers". dougP On Saturday, November 21, 2015 at 3:32:01 PM UTC-8, Ryan Ray wrote: > > > http://www.disraeligears.co.uk/Site/Shimano_Deore_XT_derailleur_(M739_SGS).html > > Says 32 officially.
