petebarchetta Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 hello all, Recently got a Barracuda Cyber frame from mail order, i am in the process of swapping all components that fit from my old frame.So far so good..... the only issue i have come across is that my front dr is a smaller clamp diameter than the new tube. The old gearset is alivio and nearly all of it fits, i have managed to scrounge a SIS front DIR and that fits the tube, the problem is the SIS is top pull FD TY32 and the Alivio is bottom pull. Is there any info that says what units are top and bottom pull. Any assistance is useful thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey90 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi, most new front derralieurs are not specific to top or bottom pull as they cater for both, from seeing that you said you have an alvio groupset and i assume that you are running 8 speed gears and it is possible to use any 9 speed front derralieur . If you dont want to have to spend alot on a new derralieur just take a scan on ebay as front mechs can be picked up for next to nothing. I managed to get an XTR front mech for £5, so you wont need to sheel out a load of money for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
