Frequently Asked Questions
What fits Shimano ALTUS FRONT DERAILLEUR DOWN SWING (CLAMP BAND MOUNT) 3X9s (FD-M2000-DS6)?
On this page we list shifters that drive this derailleur, cranksets for this front 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 ALTUS FRONT DERAILLEUR DOWN SWING (CLAMP BAND MOUNT) 3X9s (FD-M2000-DS6)?
No. Shimano ALTUS FRONT DERAILLEUR DOWN SWING (CLAMP BAND MOUNT) 3X9s (FD-M2000-DS6) 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 ALTUS FRONT DERAILLEUR DOWN SWING (CLAMP BAND MOUNT) 3X9s (FD-M2000-DS6) work with electronic shifting like Di2 or AXS?
No. Shimano ALTUS FRONT DERAILLEUR DOWN SWING (CLAMP BAND MOUNT) 3X9s (FD-M2000-DS6) is mechanical, cable-actuated. Electronic groups use internal motors and proprietary signalling, so there is no mechanical or electrical path between the two.
