About Front Derailleurs
Various derailleur systems were designed and built as far back as the late 1800s. A French bicycle tourist, writer and cycling promoter Paul De Vivie (1853-1930), invented a two speed rear derailleur in 1905 which he used on forays into the Alps, and we wonder if 20 gears are enough. Since then there has been many advancements in the number of gears, materials and reductions in weight. Wiggle lists a large selection of front and rear derailleurs catering for double and triple systems with 7, 8, 9, 10 and even 11 speed cassettes.

Magazine reviews for SRAM Rival Black Front Derailleur (Band-On)
Review from Bikeradar
SRAM have designed the cage plates of this mech to be compatible both with compact and normal double chainsets and it will handle a difference of 16 teeth in the chainrings.
Thanks to the ramped teeth of the chainrings, the chain shifts quietly and the cage plates are stiff enough to give a fast and immediate shift from the small to the large chainring.
As with most front mechs, it is best to toe the trailing edge of the mech outward slightly during set up to prevent snatching when shifting from the small to the large chainring. We also advise that you grease the threads prior to installation because the cable can otherwise slip through the clamp.
The braze on version weighs 88g and costs the same.
In conclusion...
A well-designed front mech that will need some greasing
Rating: 4/5
