wrong FD clamp size
 
Im screwed aren't i? got a group set with wrong FD clamp size (this is why i shouldn't ebay after having surgery and taking massive amounts of narcotics). Anyhow, theres no way to just swap out the clamp. Anyone want to trade?

If the clamp is bigger than the tube, you can get a shim. Other way around, you'll need a new FD.

Swapping with someone seems like a reasonable solution. You should post the model and clamp size you have, and the clamp size you need, so people can know if they can help.

BTW- it might help if you threw in the postage, and maybe a coupla beers.

So your saying that you want to trade massive amounts of narcotics for a properly sized FD?
:lol:

at least im happy with the rest of the group set. I was needing a purchase after losing a 105 groupset auction with the stem/bars/seat/carbon seatpost size i need and mavic aksiums that went for 522. I was sad

Of all the components in any group, the front derailleur is one of the least expensive so buy or trade for the correct one.
