• Anyone had their 6870 front derailleur snap on them? This must’ve happened while riding last night. Had no idea though, I thought my battery had just died so front shifting wasn’t working. But alas. Broken. I think? I can't find any great photos that demonstrate what this part should look like. Anyone have one they can take a photo of?

    Also, I can just replace this with an 8050, right?

    Yes.

  • The dangly part should be horizontal and point inwards towards the hinge with the big spring on it. You can see the clean face from the other half of the break behind the moving part in your video.

    Bad luck.

  • Good effort. I've not broken an FD like that yet. Guessing it suffered an impact at some point.

  • That dangly arm is giving me Alien chestburst vibes.
