want to go to 2x on my surly - could really gain from having a lower gear off road, but do not want any lower gear on road
i'm looking at putting these 34/24t rings on my cranks

i have a friction shifter for the front mech, the frame (cross check) is bottom pull i believe?
what front mech do i have to get to make this all work, will any deore style one do the job?
maybe this?

has 22t capacity (the jump is just 10) - fits both types of cable pull - talk about chainstay angle??!!? do i need to worry about this?
Make sure to a get a Top Swing/Conventional Swing, but the mech you've linked looks like it should do the job nicely. MTB doubles are vnice imo as you don't have to spend silly money on cassettes
