Somebody gave me a brand new tiagra 9 speed frt derailleur (guess they aren't worth much)....
do you think there would be a compatability problems with Octalink cranks?
The reason I'm asking is because I know the tiagra crank uses a different BB which is square taper....spindle length I'm sure is different (even though they are both doubles).
They say all 9 speed stuff is interchangeable.....sometimes I think it may not be a perfect match though.
ultegra front derailleurs are on sale for $27.00 at supergo.....so it's not like I'm saving all that much money by using this tiagra.
P.S. Is this tiagra part any good?
