So I had Xt 737 cranks and thought I would try to get them to work as a sub compact double with a 103mm bottom bracket.
I knew that it might not work as with chainline and pull, and looks like it doesn't.
ST-R 685 Shifters and I tried FD 5800, old road triple and some funny 9 speed xt mtb front derailleur.
Will put a stopgap on and prepare to either do the no outer ring thing (which I find ugly) or give someone a lot of money for white industries/sugino 901.
Any better Ideas?
