Hi all,
I am looking to fit a triple to my overgeared Panasonic Al 7000 (still fitted with stock 52-42 biopace rings). It has one of the cool bonded aluminium frames. I don't know what the seat tube diameter is though, and I need to know in case I have to replace the current front mech.
I took some cable, and found the seat tube circumference. Using d=C/pi, I came up with 30mm. I guess that's not possible though. Humph.
Thanks!
Dave

The clamp size should be marked on the inside of the FD clamp.

Good plan! Will look into it, whilst trying not to destroy the set up (not so good with gears!).
