Need help finding the right front derailleur

Hello,
I want to change the 40-30-22 crankset on my 2015 Scott Scale 760 to a 48/36/26. I have found the right set (Shimano FC-610), but I canīt find the right front derailleur for the bigger rings for my 10 speed. I only found a FD-M371 but that is only for a 9 speed.

Please help!

Thanks.

You should be able to use the derailleur you have, you’re still using a triple set up so you will just need to move the derailleur mount position up a bit to clear the new larger chain ring and readjust the cable, but the limit screw settings should be the same.

Is this your bike?

Then technically the M610 front mech does not have the capacity for the larger crankset. It maxes out at 42t with an max spread of 18t you are at 48t with a spread of 22t.

You can try but it may not be ideal.

Here's another member's thread where he failed trying to use the (similar) wrong combo.
