Merida Reacto 300 front derailleur movement
 

Hi, got a problem that my FD moves side to side, can't be tightened up.

Works fine via the shifter, but the movement is where its attached to the frame.

Cheers
Pete

How is it attached to the frame? A clamp or a braze-on tab?

Its a brazed on tab

Is the fd itself actually moving or is the tab loose?

Definate the FD, going to a local bike after work to get there opinion as well

I wonder if the bolt holding the fd to the tab is too long and bottoming out before the derailleur is firmly clamped. Perhaps a washer under to bolt head would fix the problem.

I'll have a look later, thanks for the help
