What front derailleur?
I've installed a SHIMANO DEORE FC-M590 48-36-26t MTB crankset on a touring frameset. I'm using Shimano bar-end shifters. The bike has 9 speed cassette & chain.
I've installed a Tiagra for triple front derailleur. The cage rubs on the big ring, even after loosening the high-gear limit stop screw.
Should I use a Deore MTB front derailleur? Will a MTB front derailleur work with a bar end shifter.
