Did they ever make a ….

XTR M950 31.8 Bottom pull with High clamp front mech?

I know they did M953 in this and also M900.

If so , I need one. If not , then I’m gonna have to rethink a entire build

Wasn't the FD-M953 the part number for exactly what you're after.
The low pivot M950 series wore really quickly too and you'd struggle to get on the inner ring without some very difficult fettling. M953 didn't have this problem, providing your frame design has the room.

That’s the M953 version mate.

I’m after a M950 if they did one that is.

M953 was 9 speed and around 99. I’m after a M950 for 96 ish. I’ve got a couple of low clamp versions but need a high one

No, I don't think they did, I think if you needed a high clamp then M900/901 were still available till the M953 in 99.

I don’t think they did either mate but I’m hoping I’m wrong.

My ocd won’t take a M950 groupset with a different front mech. I’m gonna end up going full M900 and I didn’t want that

I like matching mechs too, it's why my Heckler has M737 instead of M950, the front mech just doesn't fit.

I’ve actually got 3 of those in XT flavour that won’t sell . They need to be secured by the top bolt otherwise the my twist so no good unfortunately.

I think I’m gonna need a M953 or a M901


Or does anyone want to swap a 950 groupset inc wheels for a M900 one?
