hi all. i've just got hold of an x5 front derailleur and i think it's missing the bracket to attach on the bike. can i get hold of this from anywhere? are they universal or would i have to go to sram?
cheers

(scuse the crap quality)
That is a direct mount front mech so it does not have a bracket. Its designed to attach directly to the frame. Whether you can get a clamp to make it work i'm not sure.
argh. that explains a lot. i think i've seen adapters but i reckon i'll just go for a different one. cheers for the advice 🙂
I have a Sram x7 front mech kicking around in the spare box if your interested.
I think its a SRAM X7 3x10sp High Clamp Front Mech like this.

Yours for the cost of postage if that helps.
my email is in my profile
absolute gent and a legend but i've got a 2x10 setup. cheers all the same though
Have got an X-7 2x10 mech, a bit scuffed. I was going to clean it up and sell it on but, as above, will send it to you for the price of postage. E-mail address in profile if you want it mate.
seriously?? that'd be amazing! you want this one?
Ok cool. You can move the high /low adjustment screws on a x3 mech and it will work. Just saying 🙂
sound ungratefull now but i'd rather go for the 2x10 but thank you though. we need more ppl like you two in the world!
No worries mate, I'm splitting a bike and hoping to sell most of it on here rather than Ebay so aren't to a few quid or so 😆
my seat post is 30.9 (whyte905). would that be 31.8 outer diameter? it only specifies the seat tube diameter on their site. i'm an absolute noob building a bike from scratch so i'm a bit empty up stairs. 😕
cool. will send you cash through paypal for post as soon as i can.
chunkies was a better offer.
Pleased to help 😀
pure love. and if either of you want this d/mount then it's yours.
hi chunky. sent you an email but no reply. still available?
cheers
or jim?
