Could anyone offer any advice...
Fitted an xtr m950 E-mount front mech to my Giant MCM along with m950 cranks, but the mech hits the big ring when shifting, it won't shift over the top of it, is there more than one type?
No pictures unfortunately :(

I thought the mechs were adjustable for different chainring sizes :? sure some have 3 adjustments on them, the chainring sizes should be stamped on the mech somewhere.

Good shout, I will have a better look, probably missed the obvious!
