FD: top to bottom pull
I'm replacing my front derailleur, currently top pull/top swing with one that is bottom pull/top swing. Does the transition to a bottom pull pose an issue? I made sure the swing was the same...

As pull is the direction the cable pulls in you are going to have a problem. Unless your frame has a mount for pulley or you plan to use a clamp on pulley. You will see these on Cyclocross frames, that have top routed cables but use a traditional, bottom pull, road der.
