I am building a Mongoose MTB for my wife and the front cable pull is on the opposite side of the chain and I am having a hard time finding the right Derailleur for the bike. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Okay Mark, l see what you mean. I don't mess with MTBs too often, thus my ignorance and my Mongoose sitting in a state of disrepair. I live in Florida so not much need of it and my working MTB is a rigid frame and configured differently. I think the Shimano Ultegra is a bottom pull, you can look it up online and see if it would work; l know the cable clamp for it is situated on the left side as opposed to the top pull one you have pictured. I'll ask at my bike shop what they suggest since they mess about with that stuff regularly.
Take care,
Jesper

I will give it a try, it looks like the right fit for this bike.
Thanks!
