Any old roadies in here? I have a bunch of old road parts in the garage and decided to build up a bike using a MTB frame, 26" wheels, and some old Ultegra deraillers. I think the rear derailler is going to work out ok, but I am concerned about using the Ultegra front derailler. Oh, and I only plan on using 2 chainrings up front.
If my knowlege is correct, I think that the Ultegra front derailler is designed for a road chainline of about 43.5mm as are most road front deraillers. Most MTN bike chainlines are about 47-50mm. Anyway to cut to the chase, I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience using a road front derailler on a MTN bike?
