What are these fable front mechs that work with sti triples on a 50mm chainline?
ha, another crazy nut job using mtb cranks for touring!
I'm a converted, I think they work great, or at least my 44/32/22 makes me and my knees happy with it loaded up on my dropbar bike, especially in hilly terrain, which is mostly everywhere I ride.
as per specifics, I know the 9 speed era tiagra triple fd that I have on one of my bikes works great, a regular here has set up numerous bikes with it along with mtb triples.
ps, I do know the 10 speed tiagra shifters have a specific weird slightly different cable pull for the rear derailleur, but I wouldn't have thought the fd would be a problem, although I readily admit my ignorance of 10 speed tiagra specifics.
