  1. Dear All,
    I am looking for a recommendation for a good quality front derailleur. It
    has to be a clamp on to a 28.6 mm frame, triple rings 48/38/28 to 8 speed
    freewheel.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Neil

    I've had good service out of my Shimano LX with that setup.

  3. Deore LX is now only 9 speed and for mountain bikes. I have managed to find
    a 2007 soara but 2008 soara is 9 speed. Have companies stoped supporting 8
    speeds?

    Deore LX has only ever been for mountain bikes, but it doesn't stop it
    working on a tourer. :-) It does seem hard to find 7/8 speed stuff
    these days. How about these:
