Used to convert old Bianchi from double to triple
by Kyle S. of Golden, CO on February 9, 2022
Product:
microSHIFT R538 Front Derailleur 8-Speed Triple 52/42/30, 28.6/31.8 Band Clamp, Shimano Compatible
Ownership: a few months
Tech Knowledge: somewhat high
Pros
Converted late 80's Bianchi from a 2 x 6 setup to a 3 x 7. This triple front derailleur worked well with Shimano friction bar end shifter and converted 7speed rear. Due to terrain, bike needed more range to climb. Good price, good quality, worked well with overall setup.
Cons
This conversion required new bottom bracket, crankset, shifters and rear derailleur. Have to watch how the chain lines up and needed correct spacers for new bottom bracket and had to change the dish on the rear wheel. Fun project, but would not classify as easy.
Other Thoughts
Modern Bike made finding parts and getting them at a good price easy.

Pros
I had troubled finding the right front derailleur for my aging Specialized road bike. But with the detailed specs provided by Modern Bike of the derailleur I needed, I was able to match the right derailleur for my bike.

None
Other Thoughts
They were even able to change the shipping instructions at the last minute so I could get the part sooner.
