Please help - 2002 Shimano Deore LX Rapidfire SL

There doesn't seem to be any reason for an e-type mech on that frame. Go for a clamp on one, if your drive train is lx, why not match it.

Quite, done cheaply with whatever was in the parts bin. Probably because it saved 2 mins in assembly, too.

When you say ‘in the way’ and needs to ‘move down’ is the chain rubbing on the side of the chain or the top?
