Ultegra CX70 is a great choice. I'm running a wide compact double, 42/25T, and it's great on the big jump. The cage is shaped for maximum 48T ring and makes sense it would be great on a triple. On Saturday, August 20, 2016 at 10:46:08 AM UTC-5, Gravel & Grind Espresso + Bikes wrote: > >

We've set up plenty of CX70's on triples and wide (46/26) range doubles. They shift nicely. Stiff, look decent, side plates that don't get in the way. But a better bet is find an old Shimano R440 front mech, pure silver, cheap, shift well. That's a great derailleur. -James On Thursday,

RBW sells the Shimano CX70, which was designed for cyclocross dbls. Has anyone tried it on a triple? On my single bikes I find any derailler with a not too long cage works pretty well. but the tandem seems to be much more demanding. No doubt some of that comes from coordination between

Boulder Cycles has a great Deore LX triple for $20. There's a little black on there IIRC but its mostly silver On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 4:01:12 PM UTC-7, Garth wrote: > > You never know , a few years ago I bought 2 great vintage Deore fd from a > seller on ebay for a song. While they
