• My 6870 front mech had the aluminium-actuator-arm-thingy snap on a ride today. Already ordered a replacement but any idea if it's possible to replace it. Seems a shame to toss a functional front mech because a small piece of metal snapped (motor works fine). This isn't my bike but it's the same snap...

  • Find another fucked (in a different way) FD and swap it out?

    Assuming you can unscrew it, you could make another one - metal fab or 3D printing perhaps?

  • When I take it off the bike I'll see if it's easily dismantled or not and how easily a replacement could be made. My "cheap" 2nd hand groupset has now had both mechs replaced....
