Thanks. I tried the search and sifted through a lot of stuff without getting the complete picture. Please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject. For example, why would you need to change the front derailleur (even if it's just a maybe)? How does changing the number of cogs have anything to do with the front derailleur.
