Is that just marketing or do I actually need it? Surprisingly the store emailed me back and told me most people do fine with just their original FD. Honest! Looking for a second opinion here. I'm kind of pickly when it comes to the smooth operation of my drivetrain.
Marketing. I'm using a 105 triple front derailleur on my compact cranks and it works just fine. Using an ultegra-10 double front derailleur on another bike with compact cranks and it also works just fine. YMMV.
