Front mech question

Just fitted the front mech to Ralph and Ive had a bottom swing mech turn up instead of a top swing which would be the one he needs.
Now if I take the outer ring off the crank, the mech will fit fine, etc but just looks wierd. Will this work ok like this or do I need to swap for a top swing mech??
Heres a pic so you can see what I mean

You should set the mech up as if the outer chainring was there. Looks like you can move it higher?0

AHH if I did it like that sonic it wont go high enough without fouling the swing arm.
I can go a bit higher I suppose get it as far up as I can wwithout it fouling. Would this work, or would it just be best to swap the mech for the correct top swinger??0 -
Get the right mech. that will not work well."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

get a double specific while you're at it.....will allow you to juggle ring sizes easier if you want to.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
