E-Type Derraileurs
Hey i recently got a new frame and its an E-type front derraileur. Will it work with my existing RF isis bottom bracket. I hear you dont need the special bb with spacing as long as you space the one you have correctly.

The Race Face SRX b.b is compatible with E Type front der. However if you have a fixed cup drive side b.b and it is adjustable between 68 and 73 it may work.

The SRX is a more economical b.b. I have never persoanlly seen a squeaky one but upgrading to a Evolve b.b is not a bad descision.

Scooby, this year raceface has had some issues with bearing quality in their bb's (this is just me passing on what I have read elsewhere). The evolve is a good one but from what I have heard I would look elsewhere (FSA rocks too)
