24-38-50 front derailleur recomendation
1993 Miyata 1000 LT touring bike. Drive train is a Shimano Deore seven speed
with bar ends. The stock Deore derailleur isn't happy with the 24 (was a 28). 14x32 in the front. Using for loaded touring in hilly terrain and very happy with the gearing except getting a more reliable shift to the 24 would be good. Bill |

I have that combination of chain rings, and the Ultegra front derailleur shifts it perfectly. -- Michael Press |

Have you tried repositioning the derailleur -- it should work since a 24t inner ring was a common option back in the day, and the Deore derailleur was the de facto standard. -- Jay Beattie. --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net/ - Complaints to --- |

I've messed with it's position and limits a bit, and am reasonably accomplished at adjusting drive trains. It works but just not as well as I would like. May try a chain keeper and a little more travel to the inside. Also a little locktite on the inner limit screw that seems to want to wander. --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net/ - Complaints to --- |

Michael, thanks, if a chain keeper doesn't work out for me I'll snag an Ultegra triple derailleur. -- Michael Press |

24-38-50 front derailleur recomendation
In years past I had a triple with 50-45-24 and used a Deore DX triple
front derailleur. Then changed to 48-45-24 rings and used a Sora double front derailleur. Then 45-42-20 and the Sora double. All the previous with bar end shifters. Now 44-33-20 and a Tiagra triple front derailleur. This one with STI. Another bike has 52-42-24 and uses a Shimano 105 triple front derailleur.
