New front derailleur (FD-M950) and close up on new crank (FC-M970). The new front derailleur was much easier than the old XT to set up. It sure makes a difference when you use the correct derailleur (i.e. top swing vs. bottom swing). I had used an existing bottom swing derailleur and it was always finicky in it's adjustment.

And before anyone comments on how low the outer plate of the derailleur is, it is in the correct position. This derailleur swings out in an arc, raising up as it starts out, then lowers over outer chain ring.
