I pulled original pedals off my 2016 Joe Appaloosa and think it might be same model. I can post picture next week. One makes clicking sound, the other is fine. If you or anyone wants them for cost of shipping, send me PM. Michael has first right of refusal. Roberta On Monday, May 24, 2021 at 3

Neat. But Benz, How does the stop help? By the time the lever reaches the position, either it has pulled enough cable for the desired shift or not. Just because I stop it doesn't mean I've achieved my shift. I write this being well sure you are right and I am missing something. 180 degrees

The Claris you have Rich is the 2400, yes ? That's a "normal arm", while the long arm wonky pull version is the 2000. At least they're easy to spot visually. Microshit makes a nice looking 9-speed normal short cage FD, it's in their catalog, the R52S. I'm sure Grant @ Riv knows about it as
