How does Shimano's Altus front derailleur rate.
That's what Giant put on my 2018 Sedona, And for the most part seems to be fine, At least for recreational riders. I find if I overshoot the small to middle chainring shift I have few problems with it. I've never had a problem of it rubbing.
I tried it climbing a steep hill and found shifting the 2 lowest gears on my Shimano Megarange cassette to be more effective, as I get a quicker, more consistent shift, and a slightly bigger jump/drop vs shifting to the small chainring. I really didn't think I'd like the Megarange cassette. I thought a more even spacing was best.
