We need actual pull measurements, for both shifters and FD.
Example:
"Shimano short pull road" FD require ~9-9.5mm of cable pull.
"Shimano long pull road" toggle link FD require 6-6.5mm of cable pull - or is this "short pull"? - Shimano toggle link compatible shifters can also be paired with long-arm conventional FD, are they dual compatible? Are toggle link, but not long arm road, backwards compatible?
How much cable does a modern Mountain double shifter pull? Is it enough to shift a toggle link FD?
What is the cable pull for side-swing FDs?
