Recommend a front MTB mech ?
« on: 01 December, 2009, 10:07:58 am »
The front mech that came with my recently bought MTB frame is knackered so I need a new one.   It's an old XTR M974.   

I don't want to get XTR spendy so am looking for something a little cheaper, but am not too familiar with current kit..

8sp chain, top pull, 28.6m fitting  and I'll be using it with an SRAM front shifter.

Can I use a 9sp mech ?   What does Top Swing mean ? 

Thanks
