Dura Ace 9000 front mech

The Dura-Ace 9000 front mech has an extended lever arm to offer better shifting feel, a shorter stroke at the lever and reduced effort. It employs a support bolt which butts against the frame to stabilise the mech and unlike previously on down changes it shifts to its upper position, making dropped chains less likely.
