Hello all, I’m having a tough time finding the correct components for my Appaloosa's drivetrain—specifically, the front derailleur doesn’t like the Silver crankset.
Here’s the existing setup: Shifters: Shimano friction, thumb Cassette: Shimano XT 11-34 9-speed RD: Shimano Deore RD-M591 Chain: IRD 9-speed chain BB: Shimano BB-UN55 (stock from RBW) Crankset: Silver 3-ring (stock from RBW) FD: Shimano CX-70 (yes, it’s a double, it came with the bike) The CX-70 barely functions on the Silver triple. I have tried several Shimano triple 9-speed derailleurs, but their travel hits the Silver crankset arm before they can move the chain to the outermost ring. I have heard Shimano doesn’t play well with other components, and I’m now wondering if I need a crankset with wider arms so a 9-speed triple derailleur has enough travel room to move the chain into position. How have other people solved this issue? What front derailleurs and triple-ring 9-speed combinations are you using? What do you recommend? As always, your wisdom, advice, and experience are appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
