Short cage
I never ever ever use medium or long cage mechs on an MTB. They are too heavy and flap about like crazy on anything faintly bumpy.(notice the DCD just run a short rear mech instead and save a load of weight and improved chain eficiency) ) If you ride properly you would never go big ring to upper two cogs. Crossover will chew your chain n cogs to bits quickstyle! I generally run a 12 or 11/28 back block on 42/32/24 and this is fine. I even run roadie Dura ace or Ultegra rear mech which are way shorter than XTR no problem! Triple front chainsets are pretty much being phased out too, with bigger range 9 speed 11/32 or 34 rear blocks and 41/28 or 42/29 becoming popular. I m building a 38/28 with bash ring at the Mo. A big ring is OK for steaming on the road or smooth fire roads, but generally U would use a 34-38 front for 90 percent of riding anyway. Unless your gravity obsessed?

Just love the build on that and the XY post, desperate for one of those in 27.2. You could just do with a better chainset on it? A nice set of Turbines would look nice.
