The lightest shift I have ever known. Very pleased. Replaces Claris FD-R2000 which was too tough from low to high due to the angle of pull on this bike - too acute. Claris is alright on another bike, though. BEWARE - it needs 30mm clearance from 90mm up from the chainstay to the seat tube. With some bikes, the rear wheel is too close to the seat tube for this derailleur. Review: Perfeito 👍 ## Features - Dual SIS Front Index Shifting - Wide parallelogram for faster switching and greater durability - Dual pull design allows it to be used with top or bottom cable routing. - Multi clamp band is compatible with all frame dimensions - Compact top swing design.
