Hi Guys,
I have an Ultegra 6800 groupset with 170mm 52-36 crankset and I need to replace my front derailleur, but I have two options to choose from: 34.9mm or 31.8mm.
Why two sizes and which one is the correct size?
Your expert advice is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Kaveh

I presume your front derailleur is attached with a band to the seat tube. If so, there are two diameters to choose from to match the diameter of your seat tube. Just grab a ruler and measure the diameter of your seat tube where the front derailleur mounts.

Thank you BikerJK, I'm glad you've mentioned it as I just realized that I need a braze on front derailleur!
Thanks for your help.
