Title: Front mech trans-gruppo compatibility..
Post by: cuddy duck on 22 January, 2012, 04:51:05 pm
They're fairly blunt tools, front mechs.
In friction mode are there any reasons why a 9 or 10 speed triple wouldn't work with 6 or 7 speed set up? And vice versa?

The inner dimensions of mechs above 8 speed becomes progressively narrower.   This may result in more trimming in certain circumstances.
