HI,I need to get a new front XT mech for my 2011 5 pro. However which FD M770 is, by that i mean is it a top swing or dual pull. I presume its a top swinger but, as i dont know what a dual one is / looks like, im a bit hesitant to order one untill im sure..Forgive my ignorance ..

Cheers

    Swing and pull are different. Swing is where the mech pivots from (above or below the clamp), pull is whether the cable connects from above, below, or can connect from either (dual pull)

    Just ran out side and checked my five against my ragley as I have both XT FD's on them, The 770's the one to get, dont get the 771, ie the one with the alloy "X" as it mounts too high on the seat tube and will foul on the swingarm.
