Best front derailleur with red shifters
Moderator: robbosmans
Hello
according to you what is the best front derailleur with red shifters ?
I already try shimano DA 7800,7900 ,sram red, tiso altore and sereo
best results were with DA 7800 and tiso altore
please mr SRAM put other 'guts' in your left shifter

best lightweight or just best shifting performance? I'm curious too as to the best performing light solution.

Force works perfectly with my Red shifter.
I use a shitty old 10 speed Record Ti (Tuned) campag front mech with my red shifters. It weighs about 55g (53?)and works fine. It has a tough job too because the 34 50 combo is hard on front mechs and I demand a fast shift and fair smack it through under pressure when racing.
Updated: Racing again! Thought this was unlikely! Eventually, I may even have a decent race!
Edit: 2015: darn near won the best South Island series (got second in age
-group)..woo hoo Racy Theremery is back!!

best shifting
I tuned tiso altore to 37 gr but it was really too flexible and shifting was not very good

I'd second Force.
Have to third the Force, on my 34-50 the fd has worked perfect for 5500+ miles now.
This is my no name bike

Probably because the 7900 fd has a different pull ratio

For the best mechanical fron shifting you'll definitely want to go with a DA7900 front mech. Then of course you'll want to change to 7900 shifters as well. It's the Click and Clack theory - start with something that works half way (like a SRAM drivetrain) and sooner or later you'll just end up switching it all to something that works better...

I just switched to a Sram Red Steel cage front derailleur and the shifting is night and day different (better) than the regular Red front.

Seriously, is anything as nice as 7900/7900 front shifting?
