I have to ask: did you actually find published or Internet-accessible hard info regarding front derailleur pull ratios, or did you measure them? If you measured them, would you mind posting the actual pull ratios (or a link to them, if you found them somewhere)? If that wouldn't violate a confidentiality agreement, of course.

I only ask because I've searched repeatedly for data on the topic (derailleur compatibility and pull ratios interest me). Info concerning the actual pull ratios for many rear derailleurs is readily available, but I've never been able to find published or Internet-accessible information that gives the actual pull ratio for any front derailleur.

Thanks in advance for your answer - and for your website, which is also a great resource.
