Question:

What size front derailleur to buy?

I just removed my seatpost and it is a 26.4 mm seatpostI dont know the size of the seat tube as I dont have anything to measure itWhat size derailleur would fit? 28.6 or 31.8?

Answer:

That depends on the tubing thickness on the outsideSteel most likely 28.6 and Aluminium the latter (but that sounds a bit too thick) These days they are often universal but not alwaysThe best bet is to measure it either with a piece of sturdy wire and then a ruler or even easier get a bit of cardboard and cut a suitable slot in it, trim gently until it slips over the tube them measure it.
Everyone has a different opinion on this it seemsI chose to be safe and give it a chanceI got it today as a health care workerI think if anyone in your family has any underlying health conditions or are immune compromised I would get it for sureIt seems to be hitting children and teens the mostThat's just my opinion thoughI would do it.
