BMMF/Oswald....Many thanks for your input.
Firstly BMMF....yes i have used what i have and it works but not very smoothly to be honest.....the mech is about 5-6mm above the outer chainring.....hardly ideal.
Oswald...the mech is at its lowest point on the front mech boss on the seat tube. Regarding the CX70 and the downtube shifters.....yes the left hand [front] shifter is friction....the pull on mine would be down pull.
Life would be easier if i needed a band on front mech as that be lowered to suit!
