Good spot thanks

Just wondering if anyone is in the know regarding parts and compatible replacements ?.

 

[spud1966]

Compatible parts are cheaper and will not last as long as the original parts, and the weight will be heaver , depends on what you are after ?

I've just discovered the front mech's knackered a Shimano Tourney FD-TY700 for a triple 34.9mm 66-69degree top pull clamp. What's cheap decent and compatible ?. I can see loads identical but most the same are China and I can be @rsed with a 4 week wait

The chain stay part of the mech snapped and the chain catches and locks bike up

Dual pull so will be fine

6- 7- and 8-speed gear is all cross-compatible in terms of chain width.

Just in case count how many you have on the back wheel cassette if more than 8 that will be no good

Its the angle degree im bothered about, 63-66degrees or 66-69degrees on the front mech the swoop of the chain guide rail. Alot of the mechs dont say in the ads. I do know if you get that wrong they can sit too high.
Its 24 speed 8 cassette

put some tape round the mech before you take it off the so you have the correct height
