## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by G***P on 28 January 2021*

Fits perfectly and good quality.easy to set up.excellent value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as it said on the box
*by K***N on 16 August 2021*

Fitted fairly well on my bike but it was a bit bigger than my original one. It works well though and was quite easy to setup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product, but note Chain-Stay Angle is 66-69 Degrees
*by S***E on 13 November 2017*

This seems to be a good replacement for my current front derailleur, however, WORTH NOTING is that the Shimano FD-M310 (as I've discovered), is available in 2 different 'chain-stay angles' - that is, it's available with either a 63-66 degree chain-stay angle or a 66-69 degree chain-stay angle. Apparently the chain-stay angle of a bike is the angle between the seat- or down-tube of the frame, and the real or imagined straight line linking the centre of the bike's 'bottom bracket' (where the pedal cranks attache to the bike) to the centre of rear wheel hub. It doesn't give this information on Amazon's listing here (or didn't when I ordered mine), but the one I've been sent is marked on the packaging as having a CHAIN-STAY ANGLE OF 66-69 DEGREES. If your're bike has a chain-stay angle quoted as 63-66 degrees this may not be suitable and may result in your bike chain rubbing against the derailleur !
