front derailleur

Having searched for similar issues it seems this might be not a common issue but hope to get some help. Most people seem to have problems with small hands and braking but don't seem to mention shifting. I have Tiagra hydraulic 2 x 10 set up and have been trying to adjust to suit me but can't...

Hoping someone can give some advice on the problem I am having with shifting between the 2 front rings on my Sirrus. The shifter was stiff but operating, but then the chain stopped moving to the big ring. The problem was fixed but returned after a few days. I then took the bike to the LBS for...

Hello folks, Had a bit of trouble with my front derailleur mainly down to abuse on uphill gear changes and I threw the chain off; suffered a bit of collateral damage by ripping the plastic 'rub strip' off the interior of the chain guide - would there be somewhere I could source spares for this...

having problems with this new set up. The front derailleur cable is supposed to go over the peg at the bottom of the bolt and come up the out side of the same bolt. Cabling up this way results in almost no shifting with an high resistance on the shifter. Shifting is much better with the cable...

Hi folks, I've seen plenty of adapter bosses to mount downtube shifters and braze-on front mechs on tubes up to 31.8mm, but does anyone do them for 35mm tubes?.. I'm not asking for a friend, I'm asking because I'm building a full-Campagnolo Brompton drop-bar, and I'd rather use clamp on bits...

Fixed my lad's bike multiple times but now rear derailleur is knackered - gone sort of saggy instead of being taut - so just wondered in the interim before replacing it - if I removed the rear d and then some links in the chain, would it still be possible to change through the three rings using...

Hi, One of my bikes is a Giant Talon 4 2014 and my gears were playing up so decided to tune them. I have performed the front derailleur tuning on another bike okay but I cannot seem to get the front derailleur to tune in on this bike no matter what I try. Please help. Front derailleur is a...

I have a mid 80s bike, fitted with a Gran Sport front derailleur. The screw connecting the two sides of the cage at the rear is stuck and the slotted head is damaged. I may not be able to free it without irreparably damaging it. Does anyone know what diameter and pitch the thread might be. The...

Hi folks just put a new Ultegra 6800 11 speed groupset on my Ribble r872. Was wondering is it inevitable that I will get a bit of chain rub at the extremes ie big chainring big rear sprocket, I'm also aware about cross chaining. What's your thoughts and can you trim the front derailleur to get...

I seem to have misplaced my front derailleur for the work bike! Anyone got a 8 speed double braze on or 34.9 band on (I think). Let me know if you have anything and how much you want for it. Cheers

Yesterday, coming to the top of a hill I had to change down into the "help the aged" gear (small ring, biggest sprocket). When I did, I heard some almighty rattling and the chain seemed reluctant to engage. On inspection I found the chain to be really rubbing the inside of the derailleur cage...

The front derailleur on my giant trinity had started to rub on the big ring slightly . I took the bike into my giant shop and they sorted the problem but on my next ride it started doing it again after about a mile . The shop has said the plate is slightly bent and they will replace it under...

Finally getting around to moving the Ultegra groupset off my RT-58 and onto the Roubaix. Aside from changing the chainset, the only other part which may need changing is the front derailleur. The RT-58 is a band on Ultegra item, whereas the Roubaix frame has a braze on mount, so I cannot simply...

What fun that was! My chain was slightly rubbing at one extreme of the gear set (I can't remember which end, I think the very lowest). So I looked on you tube for how to adjust it. Hours of absolute joyful entertainment :wacko: And it still rubs.......I have though, managed to get the set i use...

The rear derailleur on my bike seems to be set up perfectly but if I'm in a smaller cog on the rear cassette and the middle chainring the bike will struggle to go to the smaller chainring and I have to go one of the larger cogs in the cassette to get it to shift. What can I do to get it into the...

Sorry, I know similar questions about derailleurs have been posted a million times, but I can't find a specific guide on how to fix this problem. I recently replaced the crank-set on my bike (it should fit, it was picked for me by a guy who knows what he is doing) but now I can't get the...

6603 triple front mech. 31.8mm clamp. Box a bit cabbaged. Never been fitted. £22 posted in the uk.

Hi! I have a hybrid with a triple 48-38-28 crankset, 8 speed . This bicycle was working perfectly well and also well maintained. Suddenly the shifting of the front derailleur has gone bad. That is, it does not shift smoothly from the middle chain ring to the largest, there is a lot of noise and...

My Raleigh Airlite 100 has had its front derailleur replaced by a previous owner. The front derailleur is controlled by a paddle that has two settings Hi & Lo, but the derailleur currently in place seems made for three rings... so having now changed one of the chainrings things have started to...
