One of our engineers knows from our CAD models and experience fitting various cranksets and FDs that the larger rings and higher FD position should not cause a problem..
Not sure why it was not included in the manual, though it is pretty unusual.

Well I got news for ya...
Your engineer is wrong.
Having received your reply telling me that it would fit, I went ahead and ordered myself a 44/30 crankset. I then delivered it, and all other parts to my lbs for building.
Today, i received a phone call from them telling me that the derailer (xtr m985 direct mount) won't adjust high enough to accomodate the rings...
Not only that, but the rings also foul on the frame.
I've now ordered a 40/28 crankset, at extra cost for special delivery, in the hope that it will reach my lbs in time for them to complete my build in time for my trip to wales (uk) this comming friday. And of course, i will now have to return the 44/30 crankset for a refund, with yet more carriage/packing cost to myself.
I'd like thank you for the quick response once again, and also request that you sabotage one of said engineers meals the next chance you get.
