"But it is designed to be mounted hanging toward the bottom of the downtube." Yup, that's what I meant by above/below, which also could be confusing, because it's relative to a specific point.

I have a bike with Suntour Symmetrics shifters (braze-on mount on top of the dt) that would have the same cable angle to bb guides, and it shifts fine.
