[RBW] Re: ISO/Recommendation: help me select a 9-speed triple front derailleur

I may have to try that IRD FD. I've never been happy with the shifting on my triple 9 speed Tiagra 4503 and XT mullet build. I started with brifters and later moved to drop bar with the nice XTR trigger shifters. Bike is a Jamis Aurora Elite with long chainstays, which I assume would make shifti

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I thought about modifying the fender to get that extra space, but would rather spend money to fix the problem, hahaha! Joking aside I’d definitely prefer to just run parts that work well for the job at hand. If that means swapping stuff out, then so be i

I don't know if there's a front derailleur to fix the clearance issue, but looking at your photo from above, it looks like you need some more clearance between your big ring and your chainstay. A wider bottom bracket would fix everything, I think? -Kai On Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at 2:34:16

A cx-70 may work for you, it shifts a triple perfectly for me and doesn't seem to swing too much. On Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at 5:37:16 AM UTC-8 lconley wrote: > IRD Alpina > > [image: bomb1 (2).jpg] > > Laing > > On Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at 2:20:13 AM UTC-5 phoen...@gmail.com > wrote

Without actually being there to see how much it hits, my first thought is depending how much it hits, to dimple the fender in that spot that's only "if" it's but a few mm's. Otherwise, most Microshift FD,s like the R539 use a relatively shorter swing arm than most. It's designed for large r

[RBW] Re: ISO/Recommendation: help me select a 9-speed triple front derailleur

Continuation from above... With that said, can anyone recommend a nice 9-speed triple front derailleur that doesn’t require as much space for the arm to actuate? I think that if I were to replace the derailleur with a derailleur that doesn’t require as much real estate, this would possibly solv
