ok, I can figure out top and bottom pull...obviously just which way the cable is run, from the top or bottom.
But then there's this whole 'top swing/bottom swing' issue...
see, I'm going through a whole upgrade to XT on my hardtail (I know I know, probably cheaper to buy a whole new bike, but I'm already 2/3 of the way done, it's too late to stop...plus I like it)....ummmm, where was I? Oh, that's right....so how do I know if my FD is top or bottom swing? Is there an advantage to one or the other?
I'll be replacing the bottom bracket/crankset too...are there issues with compatibility there?
Anything I haven't mentioned that I should be concerned with?
