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.
Regular Deore works for me
I now prefer the 22-36-bash and SLX shifter for double.
Clears big knobbly tyres better.
Blindmelon would that be this [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=40545 ]model[/url] ?, 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
Cool ,I'll order that one thanks . It dosen't actually state Its a 28.6mm but It must be If it fits your PA. 🙂
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.
Yeah conventional Deore not top swing, grand with a triple
