View Full Version : Front derailleur diameter?

Building a modern bike finally. LeMond Maillot Jaune. Word straight from LeMond tech guys is that derailleur clamp should be 31.8mm. The Campy Chorus I plan on using comes as 32mm. Is this a meaningful difference? Am I worried for no good reason? I know it's a very small number but if it were a seatpost it could be a problem.

I'm mired in the past where front derailleurs mounted on braze-ons or all had the same clamp size ;) .

Thanks.

My book list the camy as 31.8. Campy says 32.0. They are interchangably the same.
