It looks like a cover to allow running a cable stop at the shifter boss. If you pull it off, there should be a regular shifter boss under it. Those caps allow you to use bar end, thumb shifters or brifters. Ray On Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 9:24:24 PM UTC-8 maxcr wrote: > Hi Everyone I'm w

Doug It sounds like the FD does not move far enough to the inside to shift to the granny of a triple with the low adjustment screw all the way out. A possibility is your FD is designed for a front chain line greater than you actual front chain line. FD have about 20mm of sideway motion and i

A spindle length of 107mm should give a chain line of 47.5mm (which is kind of standard, if I'm not mistaken) and 113mm a 50mm. I run a 113 because I like to run my rings a scratch more outboard. I'm not a subject matter expert, but a 123 BB sounds very long for a triple set-up, or even double. S

If you look for a good condition old stock XT M737 or LX M563 you should have a perfect match for your ring sizes, a small/short enough cage to not hit the stays and enough range for the triple. I am currently using this setup with a 110/74 Ritchey Triple that I run with a Phil ~119mm BB. But
