Sup peeps,

just had a quick question, i currently ride a 05 Yeti ASX hence my S/name....and was wondering with TRUVATIV HOLZFELLER 32/22 crank set with only 2 rings. If i switch to a X-0 rear derailer (long cage) with X-9 tiggers with there be any major difference between staying with long cage vs medium cage....any info will be helpful....

Peace.

Mike? hahha its me john.. it should work fine.. just might be better to have shorter cage.. the long cage makes up for the extra chain length required to run a big ring.. but its fine.. since with a long cage on a 3-ring setup.. you can choose to use your front 2 rings only and have it still work.
there were a few threads on it... heres one: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=92657&highlight=long+short+cage
