FWIW-

I'm really disappointed that I don't think I'll be able to get the DA 7803 FD to work with my existing gearing setup.

It appears the inner plate of the cage reaches down below and hits the middle chainring- so the cage cannot get over to the big chainring.


I realize that a half-step gearing situation is completely unnecessary with a 10 speed rear end, so I'm going to have to do some searching for either a smaller middle ring, or decide on a different FD to use.

The candidates IMO are the stock Simplex Super LJ, a Suntour Mountech and a Suntour XC Pro.

I'm leaning towards the Mountech.
