compact crank need at compact FD
 
I am building up a dean this winter. It is mostly from parts laying around.
I have a chorus compact crankset and a standard FD. Do I need a FD for a compact crankset
or will a standard 10sp double FD work?

Thanks Brian

Save your money, use your standard FD. It'll work just fine as long as it allows for proper set up.

Opinion vary. Some people think that standard FD work as well or better, others don't. Current Campy FDs are compact or standard compatible, so there is no choice.
