Right... needing a top pull 34.9 front mech.

but the cable exit points to the NDS of the bike, and my current one cable clamps next to the cage on the DS, so the cable pull feels shite as it rubs and yanks accross.

Anyone know of a top pull mech, that clamps on the oppo side to the cage?

i wish i could, but i don't have one. if you look at organics pic in his for sale ad (nice plug for ya bud)

then the cable clamp is in line with the cage.

what i want is the cable clamp further inboard, like it is on some bottom pulls.

if it was further inboard there wouldnt be enough leverage to pull the mech.

well that depends on the design.

some of the old deores have a loop round the bottom where the cable goes down and back up...

I thought I might be able to help until I saw the "3".
