Converting crankset from 28-38-48 to 30-39-53 Quoting sheldonbrown.com/front-derailers.html, "Shimano does make one model of front derailer designed to work with "road" (52-42) chainrings and RapidFire upright-handlebar shifters, the FD-R440 model." |

Converting crankset from 28-38-48 to 30-39-53 @DanielRHicks The reason I explicitly mentioned the FD-443 is because that's the one Sheldon Brown mentions that can fit a 52/53T but works with mountain FD cable pull, thus removing the need for a Shiftmate Straight #7S. Hence, a part swap with a Tiagra without an explicit model number is not going to be as useful. |

Converting crankset from 28-38-48 to 30-39-53 @reid Added, with link to list of dealers so that the adapter is only a phone call or two away. |
