Carbine 275 questions...

[batts65]

I did try a search but did not get some questions answered.

Did the frame come with a rear axel?? If not what axel are you using?
- I am not that familiar with the 142mm and if the Shimano syntace is different than a Maxle or the DT swiss 142mm axel.

What front derailleur? I am going to run 2x10 and I know it is direct mount, I was looking at the XT M786-D, is this the right one?

Headset looks to be the ZS 44 for the top, is the bottom a 49 ZS or is it an external cup headset?

I have the cranks all figured out with the press fit.

I should hopefully have it soon and wanted to get some parts on order.

Thanks for any info you guys pass along.

You need a DT Swiss RWS 142 x 12 axle. Pretty sure it's extra, but ask your shop. HS is 44/49, and for a tapered it's internal up, external below (get the King I3). Only Shimano direct mount FD fits.

Does anyone know the diameter for the seat tube clamp? Thanks

not sure if 100% accurate, just correct me if i'm wrong

- Head tube "tapered" 44mm internal upper cup and 49mm external lower cup
- Rear drop out syntace w/ 142x12 axle (include w/ the frame) other options depend on shop
- Front derailleur is direct mount (ex XT M786-D)
- Bottom bracket is press fit type
- Seat post is 31.6mm (seat clamp include w/ frame) clamp size 36.4mm

Still trying to figure this one out, Carbine uses a top swing?? Is there different model #'s for top or down swing for the XT??

Thanks guys. I am a DH guy so front der. are kind of foreign to me, I have bikes that have them but just don't really touch them.

so far the only XT model with a direct mount is the M786-D top swing, this is your only choice

[batts65]

So is the M786-D both top and bottom swing??
Here is the BTI consumer page. It does not specifically list which it is? It just has it listed as "top/bottom" so it sounds like it will "go both ways", yes I said it...
Item # SH-40650

BTI | Front Derailleurs from Shimano (page 2)

Just want to make sure I order the correct one.
