Howdy, I recently purchased Riv's Silver triple crankset and I look forward to getting it spinning soon. I'm looking to buy a front derailer, and I reached out to Riv for recommendations. One of them was the IRD Alpina, which I'm sure some (or many) of you ride with. Here's the thing - when I look at the IRD "Alpina-d" online, I've read that it's "only compatible with drop bars." I reached out to IRD, they say this is so. (To be fair, I didn't think to ask the "why".) I've seen the "Alpina-f" is for flat bars, but no one has them in stock any more, and the IRD website only lists one version of the derailer (pictured as the "Alpina-d".
What I'm riding - flat/semi-swept back bars (and perhaps even more swept back bars some day), with the triple crank and thumb shifters in friction mode, and a bottom pull set-up on my frame. Will this IRD Alpina-d front derailer work with my set up? Any experience and wisdom is much appreciated. Thanks much! -Sosa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
