Fat Boab Posted March 22, 2018 Share G'day. I'm contemplating using an old 7-sp 105 FD with 'modern' 10-sp 105 STIs and cranks (double chainwheel). Will it work? Thoughts would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted March 22, 2018 Share More or less. Shifting will most likely suck though, since the cage is wider to accommodate the wider chain. Try it and see, you're unlikely to break anything in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted March 22, 2018 Share It'll work, but not well! You could bend the derailleur cage inwards at the bottom, this will help with shifting the narrower chain. In other words, narrow the derailleur a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
