Should be the same as on my Reign X I think.

34.9 and top swing. All shimano front mechs are dual pull now iirc anyway so that bit doesn't matter.

Just so happens I may well have a brand new M770 XT that could fit the bill if you were interested.

My trance X 08 has a bottom swing. No sure it could take a top one as the seat tube is quite curvered
