Hello,
I've got a bike with suntour power shifters on the downtube.
Unfortunately, the front derailleur (cyclone, clamp on) has cracked at the clamp
on the non-drive side. I seem to have three options:
1) Try to fix the clamp, e.g. using araldite. Not sure if this will be strong enough.
2) Try to reassemble the FD with a new clamp, but not sure if it's possible to take
the whole thing apart since it's mostly assembled with rivets
3) I've got a suntour 'Spirt' FD I could use (the ones that work the opposite way to normal derailleurs ). Not sure if this works with the powershifters though. I can't see why not - presumably the ratchet will still work.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Johnny
