yeah, thats what I had. The cable just sheared off a piece of the interals today. Gonna try a free MTB pusher puller first.
It’ll pull, but it won’t index
I use normal modern MTB shifters with these special pushers, works awesome:

Is there a consensus on ebb vs slider dropout for a single speed mtb application? I have never liked sliders, but I’ve never used ebbs
sliders are way better

Sliders or those rocking dropouts. The ebb on Jones bikes works well.
The stays on oddity/Mone work ok and are simpler but I think I’d prefer sliders

Anyone have experience with these? Looking to sell my reenactment RAIDs. These have nivpcer hardware.
i don’t know that i agree that a telescoping chainstay is simpler than a slider dropout. i suppose there’s fewer moving parts, but something about it just seems so “extra” when sliding dropouts already exist and work great
but what’s special about 6600?
Nothing. But those two FDs are flat bar road. I.e. MTB cable pull but cage shaped for road sized rings

Ah Got it.
Edit: oh that IS the V-O mini, my mistake. Love it! Needs matching super-tall saddlebag of course.
Rockers>sliders>ebb

I’m running a 105 triple pusher probably 5603? with 9s Alivio mtb shifters on a double. no problems. I don’t wildly cross-chain.
compared to my old beat up one, my new wald 139 has longer legs which push the basket significantly up and forward, what do now?
Unbolt the legs from the old one and use them on the new one (or cut down the new legs to size)?
nothing more satisfying than tuning your own wald hardware imo

I figure most of the Wald factory is just hammers and pliers anyway

actually, you need to buy a $150 nitto rack for your $20 basket. Sorry — I don’t make the rules
