Front Derailleurs

Front derailleur - small or large tray?

THE front derailleur is part of the Bike transmission And the full group of a road bike. As for the rear derailleur, its role is to move the chain to change the development (distance traveled by making a pedal tour) according to the relief and the physical form. The front derailleur is responsible for the change of trays. Unlike the track bike (only one speed and a single tray) there can be on a route 2 or 3 trays, and the front derailleur, fixed at the bottom of the saddle tube, just above the pedal box, must move from right to left and vice versa to change trays.

Before derailleur - Everything is on Probikeshop.fr

The front derailleur, like the rear derailleur, is today led by the brake levers for the Road bikes. A simple press of the finger at this level is enough to change platforms. The front derailleur is attached to the bottom of the saddle tube (vertical tube) either by necklace or by screws (to be brazed) if the executive manufacturer has provided it. The main manufacturers of front derailleurs are the 3 major brands of complete groups for road bikes: Shimano, Sram or Campagnolo. The brands are on Probikeshop.fr and offer before (necklace or brazing derailleurs), for double or triple pedals, for 8, 9, 10 or 11 speeds and in many ranges to suit all budgets.

Front - mechanical or electric derailleur?

The front derailleur is generally managed mechanically, thanks to a cable. But in recent years the manufacturers of complete groups have developed electrical groups with derailleurs that operate electrically: this in order to allow more fluidity and speed in the speed change. Traditional or electric derailleurs, you will find everything on Probikeshop.fr!
