Compatibility

Shimano ALIVIO FRONT DERAILLEUR SIDE SWING (DIRECT MOUNT) 2X9s is a Shimano front derailleur. It is a 9-speed component. It uses Cable shifting. Everything listed below was matched on a specification we hold for both parts: the interface each pairing actually depends on, such as freehub body, speed count, actuation or mounting standard. Where we could not verify that interface, the part is left out rather than assumed to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fits Shimano ALIVIO FRONT DERAILLEUR SIDE SWING (DIRECT MOUNT) 2X9s?

On this page we list cranksets for this front derailleur, shifters that drive this derailleur. Each listing was matched on a specification we hold for both parts; anything we could not verify is omitted rather than assumed to fit.

Can I use a higher or lower speed chain with Shimano ALIVIO FRONT DERAILLEUR SIDE SWING (DIRECT MOUNT) 2X9s?

No. Shimano ALIVIO FRONT DERAILLEUR SIDE SWING (DIRECT MOUNT) 2X9s is a 9-speed component and needs a 9-speed chain. Chains for different speed counts have different external widths and inner-plate profiles, which causes poor shifting or interference with the neighbouring sprockets.

Does Shimano ALIVIO FRONT DERAILLEUR SIDE SWING (DIRECT MOUNT) 2X9s work with electronic shifting like Di2 or AXS?

No. Shimano ALIVIO FRONT DERAILLEUR SIDE SWING (DIRECT MOUNT) 2X9s is mechanical, cable-actuated. Electronic groups use internal motors and proprietary signalling, so there is no mechanical or electrical path between the two.
