desmondalie Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Is it possible to remove and replace a front and rear derailleur without breaking the chain? I am currently using Ultegra which I want to replace with Dura Ace.
Speed Devil Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Yes. Remove the pulleys on the rear derailleur and on the front derailleur there is a screw that holds the cage together where the chain enters the derailleur.
Piernas Flacas Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Isn't that more difficult than breaking the chain?
desmondalie Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 I thought that was possible, but was not sure if it was a regular practice. I dont have a chain breaker, so I dont mind spending a bit more time with her.
AndreZA Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 It's worth getting a chain breaker. It's the only way to replace a chain.
