Ok, my cx bike has top tube routed cables.
I'm having difficulty with front mech choice. According to shimano specs, there isn't a mech out there that will work with 38/48 chainrings and top pull cable.
What do people out there use? At the moment I have an XT 8spd one, but I have to have the mech too high otherwise the inner part of the cage fouls on the inner chainring.
Would a 9spd XT be better? Or XTR? Or a crappy roller an a road mech?
Cheers,
Leon
