A front derailleur includes a fixed member, a chain guide and a linkage assembly.
The fixed member has a mounting portion and a pair of mounting flanges axially
spaced from each other. The linkage assembly is coupled between the chain guide
and the fixed member to transversely move the chain guide. The linkage assembly
includes first, second and third links. The first link is pivotally coupled to
the fixed member for rotation about a first axis. The second link is pivotally
coupled to the mounting flanges for rotation about a second axis. The third link
is coupled to the chain guide and movably coupled to the first and second links
to form a four-bar linkage together with the fixed member. The mounting flanges
preferably have different axial widths. The second link preferably has a longitudinal
dimension of least about 45.0 millimeters.
