Sora flatbar component compatibility
Sora flatbar component compatibility
Hi Folks
I have a bike with a Sora FD-3030 front triple derailleur. This may seem an obvious question, but is it compatible with a Sora SL-R3030 3 speed right flatbar shifter like this? https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-shifte ... ar-triple/
Sora 3030 works with all 3030, right? I ask as the front shifter is described as working with Mega9 precision drivetrains and I have never heard of such a thing. The triple shifters are a bit pricey so I want to be sure before I purchase.
Your wisdom and hopefully reassurance gratefully recieved.
Thanks

Re: Sora flatbar component compatibility
Yes. Flat bar shifters for road front derailleurs are unusual, hence the price. The cable pull is different from MTB front derailleurs. Ironically 9 speed road and MTB Shimano rear derailleurs have the same cable pull.
Mega9 was a marketing label for wide ratio cassettes and rear derailleurs.

Thanks. The triple shifters are quite a price, hence my nervousness at buying. I can buy a double shifter for £5.99 but the triple sells for about 8x the amountUpWrong wrote: ↑28 May 2023, 7:55am Yes. Flat bar shifters for road front derailleurs are unusual, hence the price.

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but the shifter in the link is for a 9 speed rear derailleur not a 3 speed front.geomannie wrote: ↑26 May 2023, 10:15am Hi Folks

Re: Sora flatbar component compatibility
Had a similar dylemma changing from drops to flat bar with a 105 triple.Solved by going oldschool,i.e. thumbshifter for front mech duties,light,infinitely adjustable on the fly,it just works.
Re: Sora flatbar component compatibility
That would be my solution too. Problem is, this is not my bike.
