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

[Todd G]

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 
it.

I’ll definitely look into the derailleurs mentioned above. With that said, 
if anyone has a derailleur laying around let me know. I wouldn’t have a 
strong preference to one over the next, however if one pops up that’s clamp 
on vs. a braze on, I’d prefer to go that route, but not a deal breaker if I 
need to get an adapter.

@ Kai, based on those photos you’d be absolutely right, but there’s about 
5-6mm of space between the chainring and the chainstay. It’s just the angle 
of the photo that makes it look like it hates the chainstay!

@ Peter, if nothing pops up here I’ll give you a ring!

Also, sorry for the long winded post above. I wanted to provide info in 
hopes that maybe this can help someone with a similar issue down the line.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Paul Funky Monkey or Rene Herse front brake cable hanger

[Christopher Rust]

Funny, I happen to be looking for the same thing at this moment.

Does anyone happen to have an extra one of these Rene Herse Front Cable
Hangers? Grooved and Barrel Adjusted would be preferred.

Fingers crossed and many thanks,

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?

A cx-70 may work for you, it shifts a triple perfectly for me and doesn't 
seem to swing too much.

Re: [RBW] Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

[Mark C]

It is interesting to read how much our individual situations vary. I'm 
lucky to live where bike theft isn't a big deal. I know one friend who had 
a bike stolen in the past many years. He left it unlocked on the his back 
porch. Then another friend spotted someone riding it on the rail trail and 
got it returned. I'm not meaning to minimize others situations; it sounds 
awful having to worry about theft all the time and having to carry bulky 
locks.

I pick up strays (bikes) way too often and have been trying to get rid of 
extras lately, but I've kept a few beater bikes around. It is fun to ride 
the old Raleigh 3 speed once in a while. Until I got my Rosco Platypus I 
also put a lot  of time on my old mountain bikes on my daily neighborhood 
rides. Now the Rosco gets almost all the riding. When I finally get some 
wider rims (so that I can get wider tires), the Rosco can pretty much 
replace my mountain bikes. 

But someone else mentioned the big, big deal for me that doesn't seem to 
impact most people - road salt. It is hilly here and they really cover the 
roads with salt. I keep at least one sacrificial bike for those days, and 
even then try to stay out of the resulting salt river on the roads. If it 
weren't for that, I'd intended my Rosco to effectively be my beater bike, 
plus my do-everything bike. Still, it is just fun to have some variety, 
though the bar for fun bikes has been raised since the Rosco arrived.

I've often wondered how frustrating it is for Grant.  So many of his bikes 
end up as garage ornaments.   I've tried to explain to interested people 
that the fancy lugs and paint get our attention, but the geometry, ride and 
handling are what keep us on the bikes.   My '87 Trek has nice lugs and 
looks cool,  but it hands in the garage while the Rivs get the play.   I've

commuting and a cheap aluminum mtb to use here in Michigan during the 
winter.   Despite the practical choices I've given myself,  the Rivs get

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

[Garth]

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 
road rings though, so the arc may or may not work for you.
https://www.jensonusa.com/globalassets/product-images---all-assets/microshift/fd196b02.jpg

All the stubby mtb Shimano/Microshift styles are designed completely 
different and don't get in the way, but they are designed for 42/44t rings. 
If that works for try one of those.
