  • M6-0.8 Internal Hex Socket Cap-Head Cap Screws (2-Pack @ Home Depot; I think I got the 15mm)

Currently, this is my main commuter.

Very cool! I stopped by Performance a couple of days ago and they have the new aluminum frame Charge Plug. I rode it briefly. It felt similar, but different from the previous steel frame, and did not look as n8've to my eye.

Hoping to revive an old thread as I recently picked up a used 'performance exclusive' Charge Plug (steel frame, either 2014 or 2015) and have run into an issue with the front derailleur. The previous owner was running a 1x so it was only when I attempted to install a clamp-on SRAM Rival FD that I noticed that the bottle cage mount braze-ons are in the exact location where the clamp would need to sit in order to clear my 46T outer chainring. In looking at others' photos, most appear to have the clamp in-between the bottle cage mount braze-ons (likely with the standard 50T outer chainring) and I noticed that the cage mount bolts on the seat tube are longer than those on the down tube so I'm guessing the bottle cage was meant to mount over the clamp with the use of spacers (not possible with the position for my 46T which I don't want to replace). Curiously, this is not the case on other Charge Plug Tange Infinity steel frames which raises other question marks but here's what I really need help with:

Have any other owners of this bike found a 2x front derailleur with a lower clamp position that doesn't interfere with the bottle cage mount braze-ons?
