I have a Trek 1000 with the standard components:
Shifters : Shimano Sora STI, 8 speed
Front Derailleur : Shimano 2203
Rear Derailleur : Shimano Tiagra
Cassette : SRAM 850 12-26, 8 speed
Crank : Bontrager Sport 52/42/30
I want to replace the Shimano 2203 front derailleur. While I have many
non-politically correct ways to describe this derailleur. let's just
say that is has performed inadequately. My local bike shop said i
could replace it with an Ultegra without replacing any other
components. After doing a little research (sorry, I am not very
component savvy) I am not sure that it will be that simple. Is it
just that easy, or will I be forced upgrade other components as well?
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
