|   HLP! SHOP Guys!? nd brz on type T.P. / T.S. 3rng ft. Der.. | edgy
Oct 10, 2001 4:42 PM | | Hello fellow freaks...
I Have a Much Loved Chuck CR HT, an early model (#62!) it uses a braze on type TOP PULL/TOP SWING Derailleur that currently is a Sachs Neos....i am looking for a similar type of top pull top swing but XT/XTR type durace/ultegra triple..?) derailleur for this frame...i might need to use a Road triple but cannot find any that are T.P. & T.S.
Please...anyone who knows anything of the Ft Derailleur options still avail out there let me know what you suggest i've looked thru cataloges & checked w my clueless LBS to no avail...
found braze on triples but none were "top swing/top pull"...
Thanks for any & all help...

Oct 12, 2001 1:18 PM | | well i am looking into that but it appears that on the Chuck CR-FS i just bought it has the little threaded post to anchor the Der in place when using etype ft der., that the CR-HT does NOT have...?
..i suppose i can figger sumpin' out...!?
...plus the "seattube" area where the Der needs to 'sit' is heavily manipulated ("Dented in"..?) on the FS bike to give Ft. der's enuff room to move in towards the centerline of the bike for down shifting to the granny... the CR-HT does not have as much "manipulation" it appears & i haven't been able to tell if it will work from a pure "can i even mount it w/the roper range of motion" standpoint... but i guess i'll be trying that soon...
thanks buddy...
again.. .Anyone Else...??
