Which front derailleur to use

RomfordNavy

Trying to identify what model of front derailleur would be suitable:

• 2-speed crankset - 38T / 22T = 16T capacity
• Rest of gearset is Shimano Deore XT
• 10-speed rear cassette
• Top-pull cable
• No brazed-on mounting bracket so need loop to fit 28.6mm tube.

Thanks

Why not go Deore?

Not sure if mixing Deore with Deore XT would cause on problems.  Also that M6025 seem to have a capicity of only 10T, I have a difference of 16T between the 38T & 22T cogs.

You’ll need a 2x front derailleur with at least 16T capacity, top-pull cable routing, and a 28.6mm clamp-on mount (since there’s no braze-on). Make sure it’s Shimano 10-speed compatible to match your Deore XT setup. A model like the Shimano Deore FD-M6025 (clamp-on, top-pull) should work well, just confirm clamp size and chainline fit for your frame.

Unfortunately the FD-M6025 only has a capacity of 10T, not the 16T that I need.
