Hi,
I've posted this question in a few other forums without any luck so I'm hoping you guys can help me.
I'm building an 05 Attitude from scratch. I ordered an XTR M970 front mech (top swing) with a 34.9 band on it without measuring the seat tube, lazily expecting it to fit - but it doesn't. The band is too small
This has got me stumped. I didn't think you could get front mechs with bands bigger than 34.9mm?!
One thought I did have was that the seat tube is ovalised, but it really doesn't look like it.
If anyone else on here has built up one of these Trek Klein frames could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong and what mech I have to buy to make it fit because it's driving me absolutely potty!!
Cheers
