Shimano CUES FD-U6030 front derailleur

The FD-U6030 front derailleur of the Shimano CUES series was developed for harmonious interaction with road bike handlebars and accordingly with combined brake/shift levers (STI). The "Toggle Link" construction of the "Down Swing" front derailleur for 2x10-speed and 2x9-speed drivetrains not only enables smoother gear changes, but also a consistent and natural shifting behavior. And while the chain line, which has been moved outwards by 2.5 mm, contributes to greater tire clearance, an integrated cable tensioner ensures uncomplicated adjustability.

Version for mounting via clamp (FD-U6030-B). Including adapters to reduce the clamping diameter from 34.9 to 31.8 or 28.6 mm.

Down Swing | Front derailleurs with a "Down Swing" construction are characterized by their resilience and high precision when shifting. The cage for the chain guide is located underneath the front derailleur mount.
