Or you just use a crankset with a proper chainline. Still limited to bottom pull cable routing and have the issue of road FD and mtb shifters using different cable pulls.

The weight difference is minor compared to the setup issues.

x.0 crank chainline is x.0 crank chainline. no reasonable way of fixing that. also, my bike is of the bottom-pull variety so no prob there. and i'm using gripshift so again no problem.

Like I said, use a crank with a proper chainline, which no current mtb crank has, or use a FD designed for the crankset.

not true. cannondale hollowgram SL cranks come in a variety of spindle and spiders combos. however, i don't have that kind of scratch... modifications to the road FD are easy.

force FD = 102g; $60
x.0 2x10 FD = 130g; $82

no brainer...

Not sure where your getting your prices...Universal Cycles is only a $8 difference between the two and the XO doesn't require any mods and works top (which more than 50% of mountain bikes use) and bottom pull.

Yea right...no brainer

i don't know where you're getting YOUR prices from but i just checked universal cycles and the force FD is $70 and x.0 FS is $82. my prices are from pricepoint. again, if you read my previous post, i'm running a bottom-pull
