Agreed looks to be a top pull set-up, but there might be a roller down towards the bottom of the seat tube to allow a bottom pull mech to be used.Looking at the cable guides there's three,it looks like it needs a top pull mech, i'm not 100 % sure but i don't think (1989 only) M732 Deore XT front mechs came in top pull think that was M735 Deore XT onwards.
M733 is just the code they gave i think the 2 finger brake levers and the U-Brake.Hi all thanks for the offers. I just need 5mins to think about them. (Will get back to you)
It’s too pull and no roller.
I think the frames around 1992.
But I wanted to build it with early xt thumb shifters and matching 733 stuff.
(So I might have to fit a later front mech I guess)
If your looking for XT parts for around 1992 then you'll be needing the M736 top pull front mech,chainset will be M730, cantilevers would be M734 for the low profile ones or M732 for the classic wide arm ones,rear mech would be M735.Oh, is there an over arching code for all the xt stuff of that year
