Hi all, I am in need of a way to use this front derailure, a Shimano
Deore FD--MT62. It is a 1 3/8 inch band clamp style and I need to
put
in on a 1 1/4" seat tube (31.8mm). I have seen several adapters, but
cant find one designed to work with this DR. Tried to make one, but
that was no good. I have also tried using newer derailures, but they
are too narrow, I guess because they are for 9 speed chains and this
is a 7 speed? They either rub on the middle chain ring or on the
chain when in big gear. (THe chain rings are 24/36/46 - this is a
tandem I am building up.) Alternatively, if anyone knows for sure of
a particular FD that would work with that set up, that would be fine,
too. Finally, what is meant in the spec sheets by "total teeth
count" As in a certain DR can accomodate a 22 teeth total? Total of
what? The small ring alone exceeds 22T, so what is the total count
spec? THanks!!!
