Will this work for a 52 tooth? I am having a difficult time finding a front derailleur for a 9-speed triple that goes up to 52 teeth

It will work, you will have some skipping. I had to buy one from specialized that was an exact fit for my bike. It will work with some fine tuning.

It will do the job. Not the greatest FD but there's not too many options out there for that configuration.

Yes, since 3/32 < 1/8. However, the 1/8" chain on a 3/32" sprocket will be more likely to derail. Derailing will definitely cause frustration, likely cause damage, and if your hub is a fixed-gear, will almost certainly cause serious injury. If it were my noggin I'd either get different sprockets, or a different chain. It's not worth mixing widths.

First, I don't know. I have found calling Shimano Customer Service line to be very helpful when I had the same question. But in my experience as long as the number of speeds is the same, and the largest/smallest sprocket size is the same, you should be OK. Again, you should call Shimano to confirm. It is based on the derailleur, and in my case, I discovered from Shimano customer service that I was able to keep my same derailleur when I made my switch.

The EF51 is designed for a triple crank in the front, but it may be possible to adjust the low limit screw on the front deraillier to effectively make it shift only two chainrings in the front. Good luck.

My chain rings are 22,32,42 and I find I can go anywhere I want with my 8-speed 32-12, which is no longer made. You may find it on eBay. By the way, if you have a rear wheel with an 8-speed cassette, you can use a 7-speed cassette with a spacer to replace the spot where first gear usually is. Sometimes the 7-speed cassette will have rivets that stick out but they can be ground flat and work fine. All my bikes have 8-speed hubs, so I can use either 8-speed or 7-speed with the spacer. I don't like 9-speed and up because of the narrower chain.

Okay, so it's not the model of the bicycle, it is the compatibility of the components that work together. So yes, if you have 3 chain rings in the front and 7 cassette or freewheel cogs in the rear, most likely it will work. However, there are other factors: derailleur (the mechanism that reacts to the pull or push of the shift pod to change "gears") ratio (Shimano is about 2:1 units in the shift mechanism, so you need a derailleur that has the same 2:1 pin/rivet/bolt unit ratio), or something in need of replacement or readjustment.

the specs on that area a 44 to 48 tooth outer ring, the main thing is also its a 9 speed, I had a seven speed rear sprocket, didn't work for me, so be sure and check your rear sprocket. Then look for a 3 x ?, whatever you have, then you should be ok.

There are two versions, as shown is works with any chainring bolts because the threaded side of the set is part of the chain ring. Last years version you needed the Origin 8 single chain ring version, they are shorter and not made to hold 2 chain rings. These chain rings have tall teeth and wide narrow teeth, they are made to convert your bike to 1 by 9, 10 or 11. These are not made to work with a front derailleur.

Yes it is, and will not work. You can use a xt 9 speed derailleur for your intended purpose. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure but I have a feeling that it won't work. I don't believe that it will give you the range from side to side in order to reach all of the gears. There are 9 speed derailleurs for sale on Amazon. I recently ordered a 5 speed Shimano derailleur. It works great. I mounted it on a vintage 1970's era bike so I did have to drill a couple of holes in the frame to mount it. Hope this was helpful.

Howdy... all rear derailleurs need a hanger. You can buy bolt-on hangers if you don't already have one on your frame. Inespensive, but likly to break if you do a lot of rough riding. I'm not sure but I think this one will only accomodate up to about a 37 tooth chain ring. Check on Shimano's site though. My own rear cassettes only fo up to either 37 or 39 teeth.

why would you want a 7 speed mega range freewheel on a 6 speed bike?the 7th oversized mega cog wont even be accesable with 6 speed shifters and derailleur,why not get a 6 speed mega freewheel(shimano MF-TZ20 tourney 14-34 tooth 6 speed),make sure your shifters and derailleur are mega compatable!!!!!!!

I am not positive, but if you have a matching chainring set (examine sugino attachment confirguration) you should be fine. You shouldn't need to increase your chain length because it sounds like the largest rings are the same size, and the position of the chain and derailleur should stay the same.

The left shifter is two speed friction, I haven't run a triple with it but you may be able to rig it; the right shifter is 7 speed indexed.

No. That said, KMC has Missing LInks for 9 speeds. You really need to find the model of your chain and look up the specs. Make sure the chain widths are the same. Even a Missing Link for 9 speed may not work if it is thinner than your chain width.

I doubt it. Unless you know a lot about how these work and adjustments can be made to suit a 2x6 I wouldn't count on it. The rear one is set to 7 and that worked fine for me with no adjustments necessary. I can't get the front one to work on a triple ring and have written to Shimano to see if there's a compatibility issue since I can't figure out why it won't work. And that's when it's for a 3x7 which it's designed for!

Depends on the existing deraileur, things like long cage and shifter components being shimano compatible have to be there. Chain length may need to be addressed.
