Shimano Saint FD-M815 Front Derailleur - Low Clamp
Made for use with the Saint FC-M815 double crankset, the Shimano Shimano Saint FD-M815 Front Derailleur comes in two versions: top or bottom swing. This top swing option will keep your chain shifting smoothly and quickly. This derailleur accommodates the 57.5mm chainline that comes part and parcel with your 83mm bottom bracket. The dual-pull design means you can mount your cables to pull from above or below, and shims are included so you can clamp this sucker to 28.6, 31.8, or 34.9mm tubes. This derailleur jives with chain stay angles of 65-71 degrees, and chain ring ratios of 36/22T.
Bottom Line:
No need to pray when you’ve got Saint components backing you up.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
The Saint Front Der is Designed to work with the 83 mm BB Shell and your Specialized has the XC Standard either a 68 or 73 mm BB Shell. Make sure you buy the right clamp style and buy the XT or SLX both will fit your ride.

You should use the XT derailleur, the saint one is heavier and more freeride orientated.
