Spare Front mech anyone?

[simonfrench]

Hi

Anyone have a shimano front mech going, for my commuter bike?

(Work is chancery lane, home tooting, if you do and you're nearby let me know)

Cheers!

Do you need band-on or braze-on?

I think I've got a 105 mech in the garage somewhere, I'll check tonight.

[simonfrench]

Band on I'm pretty sure .. but will double check

Thanks for looking - cheers!

Found it. It's a 105 for a 9 speed double chainset and it's a braze-on type.
If that's any use you're welcome to have it for nowt.

Jon,

I checked and definitely need a band on version. Thank you so much for digging around but I don't think I can use it I'm afraid.

Cheers - much apprecaite the help.

Simon, I've got an old Shimano 600 (the predecessor to Ultegra) front mech sitting in one of the toy boxes.

It was designed for use with downtube shifters, so doesn't have the right cable pull ratio to work with STI units. If it's any good to you, you can have it for a cup of tea on a club run.

Hi Grahame,

Sorry but I def need an STI compatible one - but thank you for the offer.

I have had a look round on the internet and found wigggle doing 9 speed 105 for under £20.. I think that's the answer now.

Cheers!

I have a band type 105 which is as new, it is for steel tubed bike (ie skinny tubes) you are welcome to have it if you think it will fit for sti use. I live in South croydon or can bring it along to the club run.

(Don't think the pm worked...)

Kevin,

Sounds like it should work - is there any chance you could stick it in some wrap and an envelope in the post to me? (Natwest, 3rd floor, 2 Waterhouse square, EC1N 2TH) Will give you some cash by return to cover it and postage ... Sorry not doing club run for a while as just acquired a daughter!
