Sun XCD rear derailleur, if you can find one. Look at MicroShift for front derailleurs. Though, finding ones that fit a 28.6mm seat tube are getting harder to find. Problem Solvers makes a adapter in 28.6mm, as to others, in silver. That with a MicroShift R9 braze-on front derailleur would do the trick. As with lots of things these days, finding bike stuff can be difficult.
Let me know if you decide to sell the XT RD M-771. On Friday, September 10, 2021 at 4:00:46 PM UTC-7 lconley wrote: > I like the IRD Alpina with IRD clamp - both all silver.
