Braze-On Clamps: The Universal Solution for Modern Frames
Modern bicycle frames often feature a fixed braze-on mount for front derailleurs. On frames that can be used without a front derailleur, or on older models, high-quality clamps are sometimes used to securely and precisely attach the derailleur to the seat tube. These clamps offer several key advantages:
- Universal compatibility: Retrofit front derailleurs to frames without an existing braze-on mount
- Precise height adjustment: Exact positioning for optimal shifting performance depending on the chainring size used
- Material variety: From lightweight aluminum to ultra-light carbon versions
Spare Parts: Quick Repair for Defects
Front derailleurs are mechanical components where individual parts can wear out or become damaged. Our extensive spare parts range enables cost-effective repairs instead of a complete replacement:
Commonly needed spare parts:
- Mounting bolts: For secure installation and readjustment
- Spring mechanisms: To restore optimal shifting function
- Adjustment screws: For precise setting of the limit stops
Accessories for Weight Tuning and Performance Optimization
Ambitious road and gravel cyclists aim for weight reduction without compromising functionality. Our special accessories offer a variety of optimization options:
- Carbon braze-on clamps: Ultra-light alternative to standard clamps
- Precision bearings: Improved shifting performance and reduced friction
Professional Adjustment and Installation
Correct adjustment of front derailleurs requires precision and the right tools. Especially when installing using braze-on clamps, the following aspects are crucial:
Installation checklist:
- Height positioning: Optimal gap between the cage plate and the largest chainring
- Parallel alignment: Exact alignment with the chainring plane
- Limit stops: Precise adjustment for clean shifting
- Cable tension: Correct setting for responsive shifting performance in mechanically actuated derailleurs
