Hi all,
I'm thinking of dipping my toe in the compact crank pond and have a front deraullier question.
Can a Dura Ace 7800 front derauiller (double) work with a FSA Compact Crank 50/34 ? Or, do I need to buy a different front derauiller? If so, which front derauiller should I buy?
If this has been gone over before, I apologize for the redundant question. I havent paid much attention to compact cranks, but I have a complete Dura Ace 7800 group (double) and would like some more versatility for hill climbing. I found a real steal on a Seven Axiom and want to use it for commuting to work and then maybe a bit of hill climbing after work.
Rather than get a whole new group (triple) I thought I'd try the compact crank "double" route.
As always, thank you all in advance for your knowledge and experience,
Steve
