I somehow managed to wind up with two left-hand (FD) cable stops, so one of
my bikes has the right-side/RD one mounted in the upside-down orientation.
It does visible bend the cable line slightly, but I haven't had any issues
with shifting or indexing.

Ok sorry, I see what you mean now. I'll pull the cables back when I get
home from vacation and swap the cable stops. I'll stick to riding the
Rivendell for now.

Yup, that's what I meant by above/below, which also could be confusing,
because it's relative to a specific point.
In reality, I doubt it would be the source of your shifting woes. I have a
bike with Suntour Symmetrics s

I think the confusion might be my "backwards" description. The actual
adjuster barrel obviously has to face the front of the bike to accept the
cable housing. But it is designed to
No, they are both above the mounting bolt.
Heck, on my Paul Taylor that has head tube mounted cable stops, it would be
impossible to put them on below the stops.

As per the cable stops:
The Riv has the barrel adjusters below the mounting bolt,
The GR has them above.

That FD prolly needs a wider chain line.

I think your derailleur should work without issue, but if it's not shifting
at all then there must be some issue with the set up. I did notice a couple
things...
I see your downtube cable guides are mounted backwards/upside down. The
little bullet adjusters hang down from the stops. They just n
Measure your chainline. You probably have a roadish chainline, which may
explain why your mountain front der can't drop you to the granny. That's
problem #1
If you can't pull up to the big ring either, even with the limits all the
way out, then that indicates your shifters don't pull enough c
Hey Jim,
What's the stand-over height on your bike? How about your saddle height?

Can't shift into granny, can't shift into big ring. The derailer does not
seem to move to the limits that i set with the screws. I took the chain
off to double check the limit screws and the settings looked fine.

I have a Shimano FD built to the same design, and it seems to have
identical lever arm lengths for the top- and bottom-pull configurations, so
the amount of cable pull required *should* be the same. Can you be more
specific about the trouble you're having? I took that one off my Sam
