Can someone clarify what the terms top swing and top/bottom pull mean and does top swing=top pull?
I was under the impression that top pull meant the cable connection came from above the mech and bottom pull meant it came from below.
Help!
Front derailleurs- now I am confused!!
Most Shimano MTB derailleurs have multi-fit clamps and will operate with cable pulling from top or bottom. Top swing derailleurs have the clamp below the cage, bottom swing ones have the clamp at the top. Which of these you require depends on your frame so it's best to copy the one you already have.
