Hello.
Currently trying to set up the cable routing on my new 2013 514 frame and the routing is terrible when it comes to tight bends.
My biggest issues is the front mech cable bolt rubs against the Rear mech cable as it passes through the hole in the chain stay even with the cable pushed down as low as i can.The other issue is setting up the front mech will be a pain due to having no room to pull the cable while i clamp it.
Looking at pictures of the new models they use a different front mech that pulls straight down instead of up, treading the cable through the mech and pulling up like my SLX one does of my 2010 frame.

Struggling to find the correct type i need as the descriptions of the mechs on sites are not too detailed.
The 914 http://www.evanscycles.com/products/lap ... 7#features uses a Sram X9 Ldm S3 39 Bottom Pull but cant find one online.
Also most mechs are now 10sp but i assume thats not too much of an issue.
Does any one have any ideas where i could find a down pull front mech?
Thanks
Ian

Any one know the difference between E and E2 front mechs?
These say dual pull but i suspect that just means there the same as my current one instead of pulling straight down.
