The original mech. won't fit this bracket, but I can't remember whether or not it would line up with the bolt from the E-Type mech?

This type of thing? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=22775
To be honest I'm not sure anything will fit around the seat tube as is such an odd shape. :? I could get the grinder out and attack the tab that's left on the seat tube and try and make it round, but I don't think I can trust my grinding skills for that. I suppose I go 1X8 then for now.

Yeah, was kinda assuming the tube would be round!MADB":y7pbhy7g said:
Would something like this not replace the AWOL mount, sitting above/below the bump? http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/powerpla...or-braze-on-front-derailleur-black-prod14720/
Or something more "band" like if the tube isn't round up there either?

Have you tried the e type yet bri? the A stars tubes don't get too bendy and weird until above chainset.

No, there's a bolt in the curved plate that has to screw into a lug on the seat tube...
...sinnett177 built a very nice cro-mega with an E-Type front mech. that he put a lug on the seat tube for;

Not yet and I can not get a clamp to fit the seat tube. Its all sort a wrong, it sort of ovel with front face being flatter than the back.
I might just fit the e-type and see how it goes or I might drill and tap a hole in the seat tube. Is the hole in the seat tube a bad idea? :?

right, it maybe simpler to go single ring upfront then. :? not a bad thing if you don't intend to put some serious go-everywhere mileage on it.
Keep the chainset on for now and manually move the chain from middle to inner to see how it suits your riding, you ought to able to get an idea of tooth quantity on single ring should you choose to go that way.

No, I think E-type is fine here this time....before sending it to Brian I tried a modern xt m77? on it and the u shape cup on the mech oddly fitted perfectly snug around the bendy seat tube and with the correct BB all should be good with no movement when changing
