finished a nimble 9 . . . have 1 question.

[konair]

I build it full geared 3*9.
locked the dropouts at the middle.
I have noticed that the front derailleur can come in contact with the rear tire when dropouts
will be set full front. because of the down pull lever on it .(which is not used)
Is there anyone using a front derailleur, and having the same problem?
Thank you
Benny

Same as a Yelli... here's my SRAM X9 front mech with the un-used arm hacked off...

Yes, convert it to a single speed This is the best single I've ever built up.

That's what i planed to do, if there weren't any techy ideas.

Truth. I was looking at the cable routing prepping to convert mine to 1x9 and thought man I should just leave it SS instead of zip tie-ing cables to cables.

It was muddy
The down pull arm of the front derailleur was a hell of a mud collector
Needs to chop off!!!

Both the N9 and the Yelli were designed to chop off the arm on the FD.
