When I set up my Road Standard with a Campagnolo compact (50/32 double), I ended up using a standard (Chorus, I think) derailleur.
The "triple" compatible derailleur I had used in the past with compact rings didn't want to work correctly. The standard "double" derailleur works flawlessly. --Eric campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com www.wheelsnorth.org On Dec 17, 2008, at 11:08 AM, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > On Wed, 2008-12-17 at 10:58 -0800, Doug Peterson wrote: >> Fellow Rivendellers: >> >> >> >> What FDs work best on an Atlantis, set up with a triple? > > > The best FD I've ever used on a "Riv style" compact triple is the > Campagnolo Racing T.
