I can't see what the problem is. I have modern (10s, 11s) SLX, XT, and XTR
front derailleurs operated by either barend or DT shifters, on both of
which the front is a friction shifter, and the shifting is fine.

Benz, "1X" is funny to me, one of my favorite FDs for $15 or less is a
SunTour X-1.

Don't need scary nomenclature, "suicide" derailleur, to ruffle the masses.
I actually had a guy (on a CFRP bike obviously with integrated shifters and

You guys are overthinking the suicide rod shifter for front derailleurs.
Just go 1X! :)

Matthew, the stop is to prevent the lever from running parallel to the
downtube in its “released” position, meaning it has already reeled *out*
all the cable. Not having the levers parallel to the downtube means one can
shift both levers with one hand, which is faster and more convenient. This
"(P)ulled enough cable" - you're all overthinking this.

Not that I think this is going to happen, but I feel I must note that GP

Hey Garth,
You’re absolutely right. Checked mine a little bit ago and it is the 2400. I
think it’s two or three years old.
Looked at the current design and it is distinctly different.
Thanks very much!
Best,

The Claris you have Rich is the 2400, yes ? That's a "normal arm", while
the long arm wonky pull version is the 2000. At least they're easy to spot
visually.
Microshit makes a nice looking 9-speed normal short cage FD, it's in their
catalog, the R52S. I'm sure Grant @ Riv knows about it as
Neat.
But Benz,
How does the stop help? By the time the lever reaches the position, either
it has pulled enough cable for the desired shift or not. Just because I
stop it doesn't mean I've achieved my shift. I write this being well sure
you are right and I am missing something.

Hi Joe,
That was a good post; great timing when there has been much discussion as
of late concerning front derailer design.
Thank you to Andy for his highly informative analysis!
Couple things in Will's post that stood out for me:
1. Will said he wasn't happy with the way a Claris front derail
