Orbea Orca and Front derailleur hanger
Hello,
My girlfriend has an Orbea Orca and it has a clamp on derailleur hanger. What we have just noticed is the bike shop put a Dura Ace hanger on the bike. Everything else is Campy.....does Campy not make a derailleur hanger? Thoughts..? Ideas? Comments? Thanks Biff -- It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have. (Sheryl Crow)

BRBR Campagnolo makes front ders in the three clamp sizes, not a clamp and braze-on. The bike shop is bein' lazy.

Everything else is Campy.....does Campy not make a derailleur hanger? Did the shop use a Campagnolo braze-on front derailleur with the separate Shimano clamp as pictured in the link below? http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_ID=5115 If so, then take the bike back to the shop and tell them to put on a clamp-on Campagnolo front derailleur instead. Campagnolo makes clamp-on front derailleurs in almost all of their groups to fit any size seat tube. I doubt they make that additional clamp thing because they make all of their front derailleurs in the sizes needed. With Shimano, you can only get the 10 speed Dura Ace front derailleur with 1.125" or 1.25" clamp. Dura Ace 10 speed does not come with a 1.375" clamp. You have to order the separate clamp from Shimano if you want to use their 10 speed front derailleur on a frame with a 1/375" seat tube. Campagnolo Record of course comes in all sizes of clamp-on front derailleur. I would guess the shop orders its build kits with braze-on front derailleurs and then uses the Shimano clamp accessory to fit whatever size seat tube is on the frame. I guess they think its easier on inventory to not have to worry about having the right size clamp-on front derailleur for whatever frame they are building up. Just grab the braze-on front derailleur and whichever size cheap clamp fits. More universal I suppose.

trevor- I do not believe they market clip ons in standard steel tube size at
this moment. BRBR Double yes, 28.6, triple no but you can swap the clamps on any Campagnolo front der. Peter Chisholm Vecchio's Bicicletteria 1833 Pearl St. Boulder, CO, 80302 (303)440-3535 http://www.vecchios.com "Ruote convenzionali costruite eccezionalmente bene"
