"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I built up an older steel road frame that had no front derailleur mount, and this package solved everything in one go. The adapter fit the seat tube perfectly and had the Rival derailleur sitting exactly where it needed to be. Once I got it dialed using the cage alignment markings, shifting between the chainrings was crisp and consistent every time.""Not every frame comes ready to run a modern drivetrain out of the box, and that is where the Rival 22 Front Derailleur Package earns its place in the build. SRAM designed this duo for riders who want reliable, high-performing front shifts without breaking the budget or compromising on compatibility. The Rival 22 Front Derailleur brings Yaw technology to the equation, meaning the cage pivots in line with the chain rather than swinging through a fixed arc. The result is cleaner, more precise engagement across the cassette. Pair that with the Braze-On Adapter, which opens up 31. 8mm and 34. 9mm seat tubes that would otherwise leave a braze-on derailleur with nowhere to mount, and you have a complete solution that brings a wide range of frames into the 11-speed conversation."

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I put this on a dedicated road race build, and the difference in front shift quality was immediately obvious. The Yaw cage tracks with the chain so smoothly that cross-chaining just stops being something you think...
