What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I built up a Force 22 road setup last spring, and this derailleur has been one of the most satisfying parts of the whole package. The shifts feel immediate and mechanical in the best possible way, like there is zero lag between the lever and the chain. I have put it through some pretty aggressive riding, and the Chain Keeper has saved me more than once when I really hammered a front shift mid-climb."The moment an attack goes up the road, hesitation is the enemy. The Force 22 Front Derailleur Package from SRAM is built for exactly that moment, pairing a steel cage that responds instantly with Yaw technology that keeps the derailleur aligned with the chain across all 22 gear combinations. The result is a front end that shifts when you tell it to and runs quietly the rest of the time. The Braze-On Adapter rounds out the package by opening up round seat tubes in 31. 8mm or 34. 9mm diameters that would otherwise have nowhere to mount a braze-on derailleur. Whether you are fitting this to a dedicated race build or breathing new life into an older frame, the two pieces work together to put Force-level front shifting within reach of a wider range of bikes.
