  1. Anyone know the requirements regarding Campy's flat bar shifters and
    the front derailleur? I know Campy has flat-bar specific front
    deraillers but want to know if regular front Ds can be used with these
    shifters.

    To be blunt, Peter, can you elaborate on what you meant by cable
    something something "under the bolt"? Does that refer to some funky
    location of the cable attachment bolt that will allow the use of a
    regular road front D, simliar to alternative cable attachment for
    mixing shifter and rear derailler manufacturers?

    The 2 flatbar shifters we have installed using the 'FB' FD, required
    that for the FD to travel far enough, the inner wire/cable had to be
    mounted under the fixing bolt rather than over it. With shorter arms,
    same problem with a standard FD. 2007 FDs('QS'😉 are all the same
    dimension as previous FB FDs.
