Morwa Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Stupid question maybe, but can I have a quick indication if I'm correct. Is there a difference between a 2x and 3x FD? Can I use a 3x FD on a 2x setup. Isn't the range/amount of movement just bigger/larger on a 3x FD? But 2x FD has a shorter range of movement. So I can use a 3x FD on a 2x crank, but not a 2x FD on a 3x crank? Or, am I missing something?
Fisan Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 http://forums.roadbikereview.com/components-wrenching/3x-front-derailleur-2x-288833.html should answer your question. Buy nowadays you have a good selection of cheap 2x FD's on the hub. Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk
