Hi, is it possible to convert a bottom pull mech to a top pull?

Maybe.

Most are dual pull now.

Bike and mech part number.

Most likely to be more cost effective to get new but give the above info and we can have a think.

It's a gt sensor 3 2011.

The mech is a SRAM x9. That's all I know.

Yeah I'm thinking buy the right one and sell the other as its brand new.

There are many different X9's...... if you can find a similar one with a top pull arm you can swap the arm over, or just buy one and sell your's, buying just the arm new will cost more than buying a used complete mech.

Picture? It may be duel pull.
