Anyone know where I can find a 9sp triple roadie front mech for a 28.6 seat tube?

Everything I find for a triple is now either 10sp or for flat bars. Ideally looking for 105/Ultegra level so all the logos match!

Cheers, Dave

You're gonna struggle to find one new.
Ultegra and 105 have been 10spd for a while now I think, maybe try classified forums?

Eh?

Just use a 10 speed front mech; it's a FRONT mech, and it doesn't know it's being used on a 9 speed drive train....

will the chain width not make a difference?

Would a mtb mech be OK?

It can be made to work but it's never great because of the different chainring radiuses.

not sure a mtb mech would handle the 52t chainring, found a tiagra one which should do it....

cheers, Dave
