What crankset are you useing? The spacing of the chainrings to the how much the shifter moves the FD maybe different if you are using ULTshftrs/ULTder/sram cranks, i think..it may not be a big deal with a standard duouble, but if you are getting a compact double, then u may need the FD for that, i think.maybe..Zerbe robbie?
