Front bike derailer? |
I purchased an old bike (Huffy "The Wind") and it doesnt have a front derailer so I can switch gears. Where can I find one to purchase? Can any derailer off a bike work? Thanks a lot in advance! Hey, I'd bring the bike into a shop. There are many considerations with the front derailler: Clamp size/style, top or down swing, top or bottom pull. I wouldn't just guess in case you guess wrong... Also, is there a shifter already on the bike? You also will need a cable and housing. Installation in a shop will be a very small amount of $$$. good luck Source(s): work in a bike shop No, any derailer won't work. You can find a cheap one at www.nashbar.com.Maybe $10 or so. It depends on how many gears on on the rear wheel. you can buy one on line. (www.jensonusa.com) you can't just buy any derailleur though. you need to know the correct size of bracket, this would depend on the size of your seat tube and the correct angle for your derailleur, this would depend on the number of teeth of the largest ring on your cranks. |
