Hi,
I have a 1980's Raleigh Panasonic 501 frame with aero (oval) tubes and a braze on front mech. I am trying to fit an old shimano 105 front mech but shifting is poor because I can't get the mech close enough to the chainwheel.
What are my options?
Can I file off the braze on mount and use a clamp on? What about the seat tube being oval? Do any clamp ons have a clamp like a jubilee clip or similar?
Can I get the brazed on fitting moved?
Any ideas?
