Top Pull Front Derailleur

[willem]

Hey folks,

I just converted my XC 856 to a 1x8. After riding single-speed for a while I just decided 1x8 is plenty for me.

However, the derailleur I took off was converted to a top pull style.

(Why you ask? Because it was cleaner cable routing and allowed me to use fully housed cable from the handlebar to the derailleur. Worked great.)

So if anyone has a burning interest in an 856 stock XT front derailleur with GripShift and cable, let me know. It's top pull only now - there's no going back on this one!

BTW - I'll gladly trade it for a cone mount rear ODS unit, with or without springs/elastomers.

Cheers,
Will
