F
Hello,
I recently bought on ebay a NOS Shimano FD-m650 Deore DX front
derailer (early '90s).
My current chainline is approximately 45mm or less and I find that
shifting from granny to middle ring requires too much force. This is
probably due to the fact that the chainring is too close to the
derailer and the leverage is not quite right (the derailer arm is too
vertical). Shifting from middle to large ring is much better.
What is the recommended chainline for such a FD? I am using a 135mm
MTB hub in the rear.
Thanks,
Federico
