Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Braze On Front Derailleur Question

Are there any problems with using a braze on front derailleur and braze on clamp on a bike without a braze on? I'm considering jumping on the probikekit deal and just noticed the groupsets are braze on and my CAAD 8 frame isn't.

It is fine with the proper clamp. I run one on my road bike.

Just make sure your braze-on adapter fits your seat tube exactly, otherwise you'll crimp it.
