How to identify a top pull / top swing derailleur?
I'm looking at getting a new front derailleur, but need to get a top pull top swing derailleur as I'm told. I found this online,

and it only says its top pull, how can I tell if it is also a top swing?
Thanks.

Shimano uses a top or bottom pull design so it doesnt matter ... just route the cable to proper way for your frame
ah is this true for older shimano xt/xtr derailleurs?

yes that uses the multi pull setup and you will need to remove the shim provided with it to mount it - the shim allows it to be used with smaller seat tubes
