Re: the 36T cog

Will 9sp mechs go to 36T ? The maximum cog size specified for the X.0 9sp is 34T.

Anyboth used the FRM 36T with 9sp mechs ?

Is there a distributor for FRM in the states? The FRM 36T kit is pricey. By the time it is shipped from over there somewhere it will cost in the range of $100. Could be worth it.
