  1. Hello,

    I'm looking for an FD for a two speed crank (53/39t if it matters).

    So far everything on the bike is Shimano, but I'm under the impression
    that with two-speed cranks, you can use either Campy or Shimano - Is this
    correct?

    If so, I'm looking for Shimano 105 or better, or something from Campy at
    about the same level.

    If not, well, anything Shimano 105 or better 😉

    If you have pics, that's great; I like to see what I'm buying before I
    send money. Pics can be sent to [email hidden]

    Thanks!

    A triple front der will also work fine with a double, so keep that in
    mind.

    If you don't need indexed shifting on the front, Practically *ANY* front
    derailleur will work, even a 25-year old schwinn or suntout.

    It does.

    If using a downtube shifter, it doesn't. If using lever mounted
    shifting, like STI, it does. Must be shimano.
