 4. Front derailleur and Crankset
The allowable combinations of front derailleurs depend on the difference in the number of teeth of the gears and

Interchangeability
the shape of the front derailleur plate.

If the conditions given below are not satisfied, then the desired shiftability may not be obtained.

FC (top gear) - (low gear) ≤ FD (top and low capacity)

FC (top gear) - (middle gear) ≤ FD (allowance of difference in teeth number between top and middle)

Front derailleurs and the number of teeth for corresponding cranksets are given in the chart.

5. Front derailleur and Chain line (Tourney)

The Shimano line-up for front derailleurs and the chain lines they support are given in the chart below.

 V-BRAKE and Hub roller brake
Interchangeability

1. Interchangeability between brake systems

Depending on the brake and brake lever combination to be used, the relationship between the input at the brake
lever and the actual braking force output at the wheels is very easily affected.

Be very careful when combining a brake and brake lever. Incorrect combinations can cause accidents or insufficient
braking forces due to improper cable strokes. Be sure to carefully consult the chart below and select the brake and
the matching brake lever.
