Front mech

harryburgundy

I'm looking to buy a new front mech for my mates bike (31.8, top pull). My Q is, do you need a compatable mech to match 9 speed hence narrow chain cassettes?
Cheers, HB

It helps. You can use 8 spd, but they are wider.

Always remember to pick your Uni according to the local trails or you'll be stuck with nowhere to ride for three years!
