Strengths: Worked ok for the first 2 years.Weaknesses: The post holding the spring is improperly designed and breaks within 2 years. Broke on 2 different bikes used by two different riders.Bottom Line: The Tiagra front derailleur came standard on my Devinci Caribou and my girlfriend's Opus Legato. Both derailleurs broke after 2 years use. I would not trust another one.

Strengths: Cheap. Works ok.Weaknesses: Cheap. Cannot use 53-39-30. Narrow chainline limitations.Bottom Line: This derailleur is ok. It's not bad but it's not great either. The cage is a bit narrow, so you will not be able to get anywhere near a crossover gear. You cannot use a 53-39-30 with this derailleur. You must use the "standard" 52-42-30. It came on the bike and it worked. But I wouldn't buy one. Shimano 105 is inexpensive enough and probably (haven't tried one) better.
Favorite Ride: anywhere not raining
