Hi,
I'm moving (finally:)) to 2x10 next week.
My question is, which Sram XX front mech (S2 or S3) should I take?
I will be using 26/39 and 11-36 cassette.
My frame is Flash carbon 2010.
I have found Sram manual which says - S2.
But according to Cannondale website new Flash
uses S3 type.
I'm confused.

Any help will be appreciated.
Regards, Seb

2010 is S2, from 2011 I think it was every modell used S3, the normal standard nowadays.

I think that even in 2010 they came both ways.
Easy way to tell is s2 has the mounting holes in the same plane, while s3 offsets the front mounting hole to the right.
