Version 2.9, Aug. 24, 2015, SHIMANO Inc.

NOTE
When using the front derailleur designed for a 7-speed system on an 8-speed system,
the front derailleur plate may interfere with the chain even if its installed correctly.

Version 2.9, Aug. 24, 2015, SHIMANO Inc.

Front derailleur and crankset

C-447

The allowable combinations of front derailleurs depend on the difference in the number of teeth of the
gears and the shape of the front derailleur plate.
If the conditions given below are not satisfied, then the desired shiftability may not be obtained.
FC (top gear) - (low gear) FD (top and low capacity)
FC (top gear) - (middle gear) = FD (allowance of difference in teeth number between
top and middle)

Front derailleurs and the number of teeth for corresponding cranksets are given in the chart.

Front derailleur and chain line (Tourney)

The Shimano line-up for front derailleurs and the chain lines they support are given in the chart below.

NOTE
1. Suitable mount adapter is necessary according to your frame mount style.
2. SM-RT56 / SM-RT54 / SM-RT30 / SM-RT20 are compatible with Resin pad caliper
specification only. If use with metal pads, rotor will be easily damaged.
3. When using 140mm rotor, braking power is less than 160 mm, please confirm the
power is enough for your purpose. 140 mm rotor is recommended for rear use
only.
4. Durability of B-type pad become shorter when the pad is used with narrow type
rotor.
5. Narrow type 2piece rotor are not compatible to caliper for Wide type rotor
because of interference.
6. Please refer C-192 for BR models compatible with B / E-type pad.

Compatibility between brake systems

Depending on the brake and brake lever combination to be used, the relationship between the input at
the brake lever and the actual braking force output at the wheels is very easily affected.
Be very careful when combining a brake and brake lever. Incorrect combinations can cause accidents or
insufficient braking forces due to improper cable strokes. Be sure to carefully consult the chart below and
select the brake and the matching brake lever.

Brake lever with switch compatibility

C-467

Four finger brake levers such as brake levers are equipped with a switch to change between the V-BRAKE
with modulator mode (for example with SM-PM40) and the caliper brake or roller brake mode.

For V-BRAKE (with power modulator) mode

For Caliper brake / Roller brake

C-468

C-469

Some models can't be used with roller brake, please refer to C-466 for more information.

WARNING
If the mode is not matched to the type of brake being used, this could result in
inadequate or excessive braking power. Please proceed with caution when selecting
the correct mode for the corresponding brake.
