PASS QUEST Extended Road Bike Front Derailleur Extender – SRAM / Shimano
Bigger Chainrings. Extended Mounting Position. Upgraded Materials.
Want to run larger chainrings on your road bike but find that your front derailleur cannot be positioned high enough?
The PASS QUEST Front Derailleur Extender is designed to extend the front derailleur mounting position, providing additional adjustment range to accommodate larger chainring combinations.
The latest SRAM version features an upgraded stainless steel construction and an extended design, supporting compatible 56T/43T road 2x chainring setups.
For Shimano riders, we retain the lightweight 7075 aluminum alloy construction, with dedicated versions for 11-speed mechanical and 12-speed Di2 front derailleurs.
Choose the correct version for your drivetrain and enjoy greater flexibility when configuring your road bike.
1. Upgraded Extended Design – Accommodate Larger Chainrings
The extended mounting structure allows the front derailleur to be positioned higher, creating additional clearance for larger chainrings.
Compared with a standard mounting position, this extender provides greater adjustment flexibility, helping riders achieve the correct front derailleur height when using larger chainring combinations.
SRAM Version: Supports Compatible 56T/43T Road 2x Setups
Designed for compatible SRAM Force D1 and Rival D1 front derailleurs, the extended stainless steel version is engineered to accommodate larger 56T/43T double-chainring configurations.
After installation, readjust the front derailleur height and alignment to ensure proper shifting performance.
2. Upgraded SRAM Version – CNC-Machined Stainless Steel
The SRAM version has been upgraded from the previous aluminum construction to stainless steel.
Manufactured from solid stainless steel stock using precision CNC machining, the upgraded body features a robust structure designed to provide reliable support for the front derailleur.
Key advantages:
-
Upgraded Material: Stainless steel construction replaces the previous aluminum version.
-
Extended Structure: Provides additional front derailleur mounting adjustment for larger chainrings.
-
CNC Precision Machining: Manufactured from solid stainless steel stock for accurate dimensions and a refined finish.
-
Natural Metal Finish: Retains the natural appearance of stainless steel without an anodized coating.
This upgraded version is designed for riders who want to use larger chainrings while maintaining a secure front derailleur mounting position.
