Description
Will this work?
- Shimano Acera E-type mount — bolts to bottom bracket shell, no frame clamp needed
- Triple chainring compatible, max 42t outer
- Top pull cable routing — confirm your frame’s cable stop location
- Chainstay angle: 66–69 degrees
- Compatible with 7 to 9-speed Shimano MTB drivetrains
- ⚠️ Missing cable anchor bolt and washer — see photos
Condition: Good condition. Light use, no significant wear.
Notes from MyBikeThing: The E-type mount is the clean solution for frames without a front derailleur clamp — one bolt to the BB, done. The FD-M330 is a reliable workhorse that shows up on a lot of mid-range hardtails and hybrids. A solid replacement or upgrade for the right build.
Workshop Wisdom: E-type derailleurs use a spacer and bolt that thread into the non-drive side of the bottom bracket shell. Torque spec is 5–7 Nm — snug but not gorilla-tight. A cable anchor bolt (M5) is an easy hardware store find if you need to source one before installing.
Guarantee: You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30-day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition. 🙂
