Hi there, im looking to buy a New front derailer as some of you may have seen in my last post, two stood out for me in my budget, one a shimano alivio and the other a shimano acera, is one range generally significantly better or more reliable than the other? Thank you

    Also how do altus compare to the two? Is there a clear cut pecking order of which Is better? Thank you,

    again nothing in it. but to be truthful the Alivio is the higher level of the three and the others are the same.
