Need a new Shimano 9 speed front triple derailleur. Seems to be a few choices and I don't really know the difference.
Any recommendations and what's the difference between the various options?
Think my current one is cheap and discontinued.
Do you need a braze on or does your old one have a band? Your old one will have your tube diameter on the inside if it's a band.
How much do you want to spend?
Tiagra is cheap.

It's a bolt on, not braze.
Can't get into the garage to check the diameter but from reading online it's a 34.9
Tiagra is the current one and its bent far too easy.
Happy to spend enough to get quality - but I don't want/need top end kit. Maybe £30 ish?
105 will see you right
What size chainrings you running?

Struggling to find a 105 for a triple, 9 speed at 34.9
In fact - struggling to find anything at all in that spec.
Think it may be a job for the LBS.
@winston_dog - would a 10 speed triple work on my 9 speed tripple?
