Question for you Shimano gurus out there: Is the cage width the same for 8 and 9 speed [road] front
derailleurs?
Pretty soon I'll have to replace an Ultegra front derailleur that's showing play after 21,000 miles
on an 8-speed bike. Can I just put on a new 9-speed unit, or do I need to scrounge an 8? (If the 9-
speed cage is narrower I'm concerned it may be hard to set up without getting chain rub on my
slightly wider 8-speed chain.)
Thanx!
