Sorry, Deacon, that only works with Tricycles. I for-went the fd on my erstwhile Ken Rogers, and it was really, really fun to be able to stop dead on a hill, unclip on the right, backpedal with the left, and kick the chain onto the granny with my right heel, clip in again on the right, and start up again, to the admiration and praise of all beholders. Tho' I suppose the heel-shift method will work if you are very good at track standing.
FWIW, the LX fd on my Fargo works fine with the 38/24 front combo -- I have to trim a bit on the extreme inner cogs, but otherwise, no problem A Tall.
