[Closed] 2*9 front mech shifter question

[#2445389]

Never had a double front chainring setup before, so apologies in advance for how basic this question is.

I am about to receive a bike which has a raceface double chainring plus bashguard up front, and a 9 speed cassette on the back. The shifters are X7 triggers.

Now for the embarrassing question: will the front shifter only have 2 positions, or will it be a standard 3 position shifter? If the latter, what will happen if I accidentally push the trigger into the large ring up front (which isn't there!). Will I be pedalling on the bashring???!!! lol!

Just set the limit screw so you can't push it past the second click

OK - makes sense. So you don't get specific shifters/mechs then?

You can, it might even come with them, but if it doesn't just check what the man above said
