A lot of newer frames have the cable stop angled for routing
the cable for a top swing front mech. Trying to run a
conventional mech on these frames results in the cable
rubbing on the cable stop and makes shifting difficult.
FWIW my Turner frame will only accept a convential mech as
the lower band of the top swing fouls the BB/shock cluster.
My On-one will only accept a top swing because of the cable
stop positioning.
