which SRAM derailleur for 40t?
Moderator: Moderator Team
Looking for a light/road type 10-speed derailleur for a 11-40 cassette, my first with more than 36t.
Have been using modded SRAM XX with up to 36t with no issues on my 2x10, but these are only rated for 36t.
The XX1 type can handle up to 42t but is over 250g, as opposed to my XX at about 100g less.
Any suggestions for a lighter derailleur that can run to 40t?

I'd just try the XX first, it wasn't designed for 40T but may well be fine.
For example my XTR (short cage 9 speed as it happens so designed for a max of 34T) copes with a 40T no issue (all stock, not even a longer B-screw) but from some quick measurements wouldn't cope with 42T, I doubt a road mech will work if the XX won't!

Impoverished weight weenie wanna-be!

It's not light, but my short-cage 2x10 GX handles an 11-42t perfectly.

Does the thickness of the part place the derailleur too far out from the original mount?
It replaces the link that connects Shimano direct mount RD's to a normal hanger. SRAM just bolts straight to the hanger.
