Shimano XT is THE bang for your buck group set. With 90% of the performance of XTR at 50% of the cost, no other group offers such value for money. SRAM X.0 is close, but in my opinion XT has an edge due to its affordability.
The FD-M781 is a high clamp front derailleur for 3x10 systems. The clamp has a diameter of 34.9mm and included with the derailleur is a shim for use on frames with 31.8mm seat tubes.
