    Hello All,

    First time post! I've got a Felt SR71
    (specs here feltbicycles.comindex.php ) and the front derailleur is supposed to be 105 but it only says shimano 9 speed and looks a bit tinny. The rear is a dura ace so I'd like to change the front. What dictates what I can fit? I've seen a couple of dura ace "ten speed" front D's on ebay (links below) which look ok. What do I need to check/do?

    Thanks in advance folks 🙂

    The link is to an old Euro model, the FD info is a misprint. The FD should be a Shimano Flat Bar Derailleur, 443 or 660.

    A Road Derailleur (105) will not work with the flat bat shifters.

    I have a SR81 and a F95, a GF with a F100 these all work with FD-R443 Front Derailleurs.

    Hi,

    Thanks for that, so is there no way to upgrade the FD on flat bar bikes?

    cheers

    I think you might be a bit disappointed by an FD "upgrade", even if you could.
    You could always go to the dark side of the force, Luke Flatbarrider....
