Swap XTR M900 FD (downpull) 34.9 with 31.8 mm

[PanoIgano]

Hi everyone,

I have the above XTR FD (downpull) in 34.9 that I would like to exchange with an equivalent model (and again downpull) in 31.8 mm.

The deraileur is in very good consdition as seen in the pictures.

Would anyone of you be interested in such an exchange please let me know.

I am based in Belgium.

Cheers,
Panos

Would one of these work? At least then you have the option in the future of 2 sizes.

You're welcome... I just googled "34.9 to 31.8 front deraileur shim"
They all look plastic but I imagine alloy ones are available although I guess plastic is kinder to paintwork!

In the end, I tried some metal sims I had (not as discrete as the ones you proposed) but they just don't look too good.

It's for my yo eddy so I better try and find the right FD size...

So still on the look out in case anyone is interested...

I'm looking exactly for the one which you are offering to trade but I have in stock only the top pull. The shims is the calssic one which you get with almost all front mech when you buy them new. I have many of them and just used one and works perfectly.

Thanks for letting me know DACO!

I will keep looking of a 31.8 dp as I really want to avoid sims on the yo eddy.

Hopefully, I will find one.

Ok, if I find one in meantime I will contact you for the trade.

Much appreciated mate!
