Re: [RBW] Re: Max Tooth Cog on an 8 speed Deore XT Rear Derrailer?

2015-11-21 Thread Ryan Ray
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.

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".
