What front derailleur mount does a Cannondale Topstone Alloy use?
The front derailleur fitment standard on a Cannondale Topstone Alloy, and how to pick the right part.
| Frame | Cannondale Topstone Alloy |
|---|---|
| Front derailleur mount | 31.8 mm front-derailleur clamp (31.8 mm band) |
| Mount / band size | 31.8 mm (1 1/4 in) seat-tube clamp |
| Typical class | the most common round-tube clamp size on aluminium road and touring frames |
The Cannondale Topstone Alloy uses a IS42 integrated upper headset (integrated, 42 mm), a 27.2 mm class seatpost, a 12x100 mm front thru-axle at the front (12 mm x 100 mm, front) and a 31.8 mm band front derailleur.
An aluminium frame may have a round seat tube rather than a braze-on tab, so a clamp front derailleur can be needed; check the tube. The bottom bracket is covered on its own page.
