Subject: Campy Front Derailleur on a Lapierre
|
Hi,
I could use some advice on a recent purchase. I recently, that is
two days ago, bought this frame:
http://tinyurl.com/2tjfja
The 32mm Campy Chorus front d=E9railleur, did not come close to
fitting on the frame.
So, off to the Canadian Campy distributor to purchase a 35mm clamp
on d=E9railleur. Now this fits but not very smugly. At least nowhere
near as snug as on aluminium frame. I have to squeeze the clamps
together to get the bolt to start threading.
Now, being Uber worried that I will crimp the seat tube, I have
tightened it just enough so that the d=E9railleur does not move.
Everything works, the d=E9railleur performs perfectly does not
slip.
What has me worried though, is that the bolt does not thread
entirely through the nut. It makes it 3/4 of the way through. Should I
be worried about it stripping ?
I went to Shimano's website, since the bike was originally to be
shipped with Shimano and their d=E9railleurs appear to be 34.9 .. So
it's not the sizing.
What to do ?
Thanks
J

I was hoping you'd reply.
Thanks for the info, that eases my mind.
Much appreciated.

Don't do anything. FD works, not sliding or slipping and 3/4 of the
total thread is just fine...The FD is really 34.9..Campag just rounds
up, like their 31.8 is called 32, etc.
