That information for your specific

Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

Any good mechanic that know whether a triple XT front
derailleur will work with a 46/39 chain ring combo? My
instinct is that the chain ring diameters are too close in
size to allow clearance for the derailleur cage. Thanks.
