I have run the SRAM XX 39T S3 front derailer on a 2011 Specialized Epic Comp 29 for over a year. Partnered with Truvativ XX 39/26 cranks and an XX front shifter. Performance has been flawless. I bought these components during the window when 2x10 X0 was just coming out, and X0 was often equally or more expensive than XX. Now that the tech has 'trickled down' to lower component levels, I would not buy XX again just for the weight savings, but in my experience there is no denying the quality of this component. A great front derailer.

Pros: Very fast
Solid, looks and feels very high quality

Cons: So many particular mounting and tooth-count specifications make each derailer very inflexible for the future. You buy the one that works with the frame and the chainrings you have now

Would Buy Again: No

Sweet shift

Out of the box the first thing to notice is the thickness of the steel on the mount plate. Its beefy at 4.5mm thick, but the D works so well and changes so quickly even under pressure i have no complaints.

Pros: Works really well, no need to ease up on the pressure on the pedals during changes. No more waiting for the chain to pick up, its that instant.

Cons: Specific to chainring sizes.

SRAM XX front derailleur

Easily the best SRAM front derailleur ever. Lightweight, strong, well designed, and attractive. I really like the mounting band! Not that expensive really for what it is (unlike the XX cassette). If you're looking to buy one of these make sure you choose carefully as they are available in a number of different configurations (dedicated top pull & bottom pull, dedicated 31.8 & 34.9, high mount & low mount & direct mount). Slick shifts!

Pros: Great Item

Cons: n.a.
