Message: >I'm trying to find a top pull derailleur that is compatible with 9 spd 105 STI shifters (ST-5500) and will work with a triple. The top pull 9 spd LX front derailleur doesn't appear to utilize the same cable pull as the road derailleurs intended for triples. .............................................................................................................................shimano sez the mtb derailers are not compatible with STI.Been my sorry experience too. Check www.branfordbike.com for a top pull road type if they exist.
