righto, having decided to switch from 1x8 to 2x9 setup on my 2005 stiffee, i'm now entering the world of not having a clue what type of front mech i need!
do i need high clamp/low clamp/top pull/bottom pull/31.8mm/34.9mm??? i'd prefer to get sram too, just for consistency (x7 or x9, and i'm aware that sram front shifters work okay with shimano mechs too)...

you'll need a top pull and either swing though i've got a top swing at the mo which is fine, can't remember the diameter but they all come with spacers.

does high clamp or low clamp make any difference?
oh, and also i'm now thinking that XT may be the way to go...
