    My front mech has finally given In and looking on the Dialled bikes website It states A PA needs a 28.6mm top pull mech .
    Any suggestions as too what to buy needs to be reasonably priced and running standard 3 chainrings at the front.

    Your help Is appreciated.

    I now prefer the 22-36-bash and SLX shifter for double.
    Clears big knobbly tyres better.

    Blindmelon would that be this model ?, and would this support 3 chainrings up front.

    I got mine (for my PA) from merlin, a little cheaper I seem to remember (and it won’t come in a massive box).
    Pretty sure it was this one;

    Edit to say, I’m running a triple chainset (slx) too with that mech/frame (how very old fashioned..)

    conventional swing rather than top swing

    works better, doesnt collect mud, pivots last forever….. whats not to like

    Yeh, I’m sure it was that one I linked to. It’s multi-fit or whatever they call it so comes with plastic shims to fit most seat tubes.
    I’d say a proper sized one clamps better (moved mine round in a crash the other week) but for 17 quid you can’t grumble…

    the front mech you have on will have the right size shims.
