FAQs

What type of frame is this front mech compatible with?

The Shimano 105 R7000 front mech is compatible with frames that have a braze-on mount.

What is the recommended chain for this front mech?

This front mech is designed for use with 11-speed chains. Consult your chain manufacturer's recommendations.
