Hi Robert, sorry to bother you again, I just received my front derailleur, a Shimano Tiagra FDD-4700, and I can't seem to be able to adjust it so that the chain doesn't rub on the top part of the derailleur, no matter how far up the downtube I bring it up. It almost seems like I need to rotate the derailleur. What did you use on the V2's for front derailleur?

You can get a braze-on clamp, and a braze-on style FD that will be a perfect match for the clamp version.

Also, it is hard to see from the pictures, but can you move up the DR clamp even just a small bit if there is any room?

I've tried, I'm about 7 mm above the chainring teeth, and it still rubs, the DR needs to be rotated about 15 degrees clockwise
Hi Robert, I've finally decided to use a 30x46 Shimano GRX crankset with a Hollowtech bottom bracket, does the Freerider need a road or mtn bike bracket??
Thanks.

I think I answered my question, the cup is 73 mm wide.

It should be a standard English thread BB shell on those older bikes.
