Major issues with SRAM Red eTap front derailleur
#76
It's carbon dontcha know.
Not sure which you've bought. It took me a while to track down somewhere with the SRAM one still in stock which has the extra grub screw to stop it getting pushed inwards. A random small shop in TN sorted me out after my initial purchase from random shop in NYC proved to be out of stock.

MANY MANY MANY THANKS for the reco on the chain catcher! I bought a SRAM Red FD, only because of these issues. Same problem. 9 out of 10 shifts, beautiful. And then it throws it. Apparently this is more common than I thought. The Amazon reviews of the catcher I bought said they had issues even with SRAM Red. Now that it's installed I can see how it will work, and how there's no room to drop the chain. True test is the next ride.
