Shimano Tiagra 4500 Front Gear

Shimano Tiagra FD-4500 Front Derailleur

Specially designed to be compatible with compact chainsets

Specially designed to be compatible with compact chainsets, the Shimano FD-4500 is a precise, positive and totally dependable mechanism, as we have come to expect from Tiagra.

• All-aluminium construction bar the pearl-plated steel chain cage.
• Improved for 2007 with a special surface treatment.
  
• For use only with Super Narrow 9-speed chains.
  
• Front capacity: 16t.
• Recommended large chainring size: 50-56t.
• Multi-clamp band means that the Shimano Tiagra FD-4500 Front Derailleur fits both 31.8 and 34.9mm-diameter seat tubes.

Tiagra is Shimano's mid-quality road bike group set. And you know what we say about Shimano mid-quality stuff? Because it shares similar technological features to Shimano's pro equipment (albeit with less exotic materials and finish) it's probably the best bargain in bicycling. So much so that Tiagra does not look out of place on £1,000 race bikes.
