- 1st gen XTR, model FD-M900 has 28.6mm clamp version and is gorgeously finished, albeit not entirely silver. I think it passes the Riv aesthetics test though, especially if you pair it with a M900 rear derailleur. - Sachs Quarz (*not* Quartz, although often misspelled this

Actually Campy Mirage 9-speed with 28.6 clamp is vintage, isn't it? I don't think they've had a 9-speed group since maybe 2007  On Sunday, October 18, 2020 at 4:19:23 PM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > Andrew, > > This isn't particularly vintage or silver, but I just pulled it off a Riv > frame

FWIW , you can include 31.8mm FD's as you can get a shim for a $5(including shipping) song. https://www.performancebike.com/shimano-ultegra-fd6800-front-derailleur-clamp-shim-reduces-31.8mm-to-28.6mm-y5p198030/p578001 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Hi All, I decided to convert my Atlantis from1x9 to 3x9, with a 20-32-42 triple up front, using DT shifters. I need some advice, however, on an FD for the conversion. I'd love something beautiful (silver), vintage (maybe Deerhead, maybe Suntour, maybe something else), a 28.6 clamp diameter

I will also throw out there that finding a long-pull lever you can live with is a preferable solution than Travel Agents. I'd sooner go with a short-arm V-brake than use a Travel Agent, but there are significant benefits to long-pull brakes, both rim and mechanical disc, in that the cable is

I’d be more likely to put the V on the front, like Nick. His travel agent trick is a smart way to match the levers with the different brakes, too. I’ve had two bikes that needed Paul minimotos to cure the brake judder. The light forks and long steerers did the flexing trick under hard braking,

Half Mitts may be weird but they really work. I bought a pair of Half mitts (with thumb) from a list member. Use then in cooler weather and winter, and they work GREAT. Hands stay nice and warm and are easier than regular gloves to take off.. I think the wind blocking goes a long way to
