Shimano Altus FD-M370 – Front Derailleur 3x9, Black

Shimano Altus FD-M370 – front derailleur

The front derailleur is a bicycle drivetrain component responsible for shifting the chain between the chainrings of the crankset. The FD-M370 model from Shimano's Altus line is designed for 3x9-speed setups, popular on recreational and touring mountain bikes.

Construction

The derailleur is made of aluminum, with a Dual-Pull housing that allows the cable to be routed from either the top or the bottom, depending on the frame geometry and the placement of cable guides. The chain line angle is 66 to 69 degrees, which should be verified against your own frame's geometry before buying to ensure the mechanism works properly.

Installation

The derailleur is attached with a clamp on the seat tube, in the spot typical for most mountain bikes. Before buying, it is worth checking the seat tube diameter of your bike to choose the right clamp size or an additional reducing adapter.

Uses

The product works as a replacement for a worn or damaged front derailleur on a mountain bike with a 3x9 drivetrain, improving the precision and smoothness of shifting between chainrings.
