I'm trying to get my mountin bike back into use and need a new front mech, but I don't understand some of the tech spec. points on it.
Here's an example of one that I was looking at:
(Shimano Deore)
• Rear Compatibility 9-speed
• Total Top-low Max. Capacity 22T
• Top-middle Min. Capacity 12T
• Top Gear Teeth 44/48T
• Cable Routing dual-pull type
• Chain Stay Angle 63-66 deg./66-69 deg.
• Seat Tube/Band Mount 28.6(W/adapter)/31.8(W/adapter)/34.9mm
Band sizes are OK.
For rear compatibility does it have to be 9, or is 9-or-less OK?
A quick explination of what the other stuff means would be great!
Thanks
