Right on thats what I'm gonna do. I was asking about the braze on adapter cause i think ill give my triple FD to Lemma since I am giving her my triple crank too, and she can use all that on her bike. I think she will get all of my current drive train stuff from me, so I will get all the right stuff later on.
For now I will just get the FD. Thanks guys, Jake On Dec 9, 1:03 pm, "Jonathan Zerbe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Woah woah woah. Jake buy the SRAM Rival FD that is compatible.
