Need some help please
Hi to everyone,
I need help. I had my 90's MTB leaning against a corner so I decided to convert it to a gravel bike. I started by researching which parts are compatible with the bike. I decided to put the entire Shimano tourney a073 groupset. I ended up having a problem with the tuning so I took it to a bike shop, where the owner told me that I put incompatible parts. He told me that the FC-A073 crankset is incompatible with the FD-A073 front derailleur. Since the front derailleur is incompatible, what should I buy for that crankset?

Other than maybe thinner tires I don’t understand why you had to change anti to make it a gravel grinder.

Seems odd those would be incompatabile though.
