The lightest shift I have ever known. Very pleased. Replaces Claris FD-R2000 which was too tough from low to high due to the angle of pull on this bike - too acute. Claris is alright on another bike, though. BEWARE - it needs 30mm clearance from 90mm up from the chainstay to the seat tube. With some bikes, the rear wheel is too close to the seat tube for this derailleur. Review: SHIMANO Altus - I have a shimano derailleur that works well. But I wanted a new and shiny one. So I bought SHIMANO Altus 7/8 Speed ​​MTB Hybrid Front Mech Gear Derailleur FDM310. After buying and trying to assemble it, I think it is a poor material, the front outer part as in the picture is aluminum. But most of the parts responsible for the operation of the derailleur are made of plastic. The durability of this is questionable. The mounting bracket for the bike frame is made of metal. But the added 4 washers, depending on the thickness of the frame, are 3 made of plastic and 1 made of metal. The screw that secures the derailleur rim to the frame is supposedly metal. But it broke when tightening. It broke halfway through tightening. Leaving part of the screw in the thread. Shimano used to be a brand. Now they cut costs to save money and produce poor quality toys ## Features - Dual SIS Front Index Shifting - Wide parallelogram for faster switching and greater durability - Dual pull design allows it to be used with top or bottom cable routing. - Multi clamp band is compatible with all frame dimensions - Compact top swing design. Suitable for 7 / 8 Speed drivetrains. Clamp size : 31.8-34.9mm (28.6mm will require a spacer). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EIE9P6O | | Best Sellers Rank | #143,043 in Sporting Goods ( See Top 100 in Sporting Goods ) #35 in Bike Front Dérailleurs | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Case Material Type | Metal | | Color | Silver | | Colour | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 183 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05055362091826 | | Item Weight | 1.19 Pounds | | Item weight | 1.19 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Manufacturer Part Number | FDM310X6 | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | FDM310X6 | | Mount Type | Clamp-On Mount | | Mounting type | Clamp-On Mount | | Number of Teeth | 44 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Colour:** Silver - **Item weight:** 540 g - **Material:** Metal - **Mounting type:** Clamp-On Mount ## Images ![Shimano Altus 7/8 Speed MTB Hybrid Front Mech Gear Derailleur FDM310 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71I3I5CMiUL.jpg) ![Shimano Altus 7/8 Speed MTB Hybrid Front Mech Gear Derailleur FDM310 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dEGnp2H0L.jpg) ![Shimano Altus 7/8 Speed MTB Hybrid Front Mech Gear Derailleur FDM310 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mz7wv9VcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Light Smooth Shifting and Can Use On a Double *by M***) on 25 May 2025* Used on a double chainset 50/34 - 8 speed - it works very well.
