So I recently got a road frame and it came with a braze-on for the front mech and I wanna get this off so I can put my Campag front mech band-on on.

But braze-on seems to be held on by 4 rivets. I just need to know when I remove these with a drill will the frame be okay to ride? Also, is there any campag 10 speed front mech for braze-on that'll fit this type of braze-on?

Pics can be viewed here.

Any advice is very welcome.

Thanks, Jackie.

Oh my mate just wanted to see what's the highest I can put my front mech and see how close the front mech would be to the crankset. Although the crankset on my fixed is 48t. It's all abit confusing lol.

So if I were to buy this front mech (braze-on), it'll work on the frame?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
