Matthew,
The rear looks like an M772, and the front an M786 maybe?

What I'm wondering is if the Alpina triple will work with a 10-speed setup?

Hi Matt,
That FD works excellent for me on a Crust Canti Romanceur (130mm rear hub
spacing) running 44-34-24 Silver crank and 110mm BB. I had to mount the FD
higher than I wanted to clear a pretty tall chainstay when on the smallest
ring so the gap between the cage and 44T ring is pretty big (~
*Matt with the 44-34-24 & in need of a new FD*
I suggest a Shimano Sora FD-R3030b, a 9speed triple designed for a 45mm
front chainline. You can still buy these at Universal Cycles for about $30
Universal Cycles -- Shimano FD-R3030 Sora Triple Front Derailleur - 9 Speed
[EFDR3030X, EFDR3030F]
It's a copy of the late-'90s Shimano 105 9-speed triple that Riv put on
most of their bikes for many years. I think it'll be fine.

Hi everyone, for my existing drivetrain:
RD: Shimano Deore M591
Cassette: 9sp Shimano XTR 11/34T
SIlver crankset 44/34/24 (standard-issue from Rivendell)

I need a front derailleur with a narrow 9sp cage.
Would the Alpina Triple front derailleur work with my setup? Is the Alpina

When I was looking for a new FD for my 26-42, I looked at 7400's on eBay,
but they weren't really all that cheap, or were quite beat up. I ended up
with a c. 1990 Campagnolo Croce d'Aune FD from the UK that had been cleaned
and polished so it looked like new, and it shifts the 26-42 very well. I
I figgered. I do have a spare, but as with the one currently installed it
has no outer throw stop, which requires one to upshift with some care to
avoid throwing the chain over the bashguard. I cut off the outer stops on
both (I think one is 7400, the other either 7401 or 7402 with a bit more
outer
I've also had good luck with the 7400... currently shifting a 44/24 combo
quite nicely. They seem to still be reasonable on ebay but certainly are
more like $40-$70.

Well, maybe I shouldn't speak in such absolutes :-) I got a nice used one
on eBay many years ago for $15. YMMV!

+1. My 7400-series FDs shift a 42/28 perfectly despite having to be set
rather high above the 42 t ring. In fact, they have to be set high to clear
the BBBashguard in the outer position.
Kieran: "Cheap," did you say? I'd like to get a spare; what's your source?

My favourite FD for this type of scenario is the Dura-Ace 7400 double. It
works amazing on a compact wide-range crankset. Cheap as chips too.

It's a reasonable question and I think (if the clamp fits with the shim you
have) that it'll shift those rings just dandy. In friction. If you're
indexing then Bob's your uncle.

I asked at the swap meet if the Altus MD311 would work with my setup. The

Well that sucks I can relate to wacky things happening ! Seriously
though, the Altus should work just fine.

Well, instead of shifting the chain, my front derailleur shifted the cuff of my
jeans.
I got the grease out of my Levis, but I couldn’t get the Levis out of my front
derailleur.

I've been having a heckuva time getting my front derailleur to go from
little to big without hopping over. Eventually, if I talked sweetly to it
and said Hail Mary three times, it would usually settle. Even took it to an
experience mechanic. He also lowered it, then slowly kept raising it up,
