Bought a front mech off the classifieds, only thought about the clamp diameter. Turns out it's around 2 cms too high to fit under the suspension linkage. I had no idea there's a third dimension to consider 🙁

Yep sounds like you need a bottom mount one

And then there are "top swing" designed for full sussers with limited room.

Oh yeah....remember something about top swing 😳 What a t**t. 34.9 conventional mech anyone?

And there's more- had an older Scott FS in the other day that needed an E-type mech, turns out the newer types are taller than the originals(both top swing)and won't fit in under the swingarm.
