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

https://www.westbrookcycles.co.uk/turbine_4_bolt_2x11_chainring_set_(10464_bcd)-10713

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

Maj in reply to @MisterMikkel

excellent, thank you!

yes my thought about this! saves me the most money in the long run, and spreads the wear over the casette - on my 1x with a dinner plate i just use 3 gears most days.

@gubhi a big compliment coming from someone with many nice bikes themselves!
