The front derailleur on Pivot’s FFD system stays in place through half of the travel. When the swingarm comes within 3mm of hitting the end of the derailleur cage, the pin attached to the chainstay hits the black tab, causing the FFD mount to pivot forward, keeping the front derailleur from hitting the swingarm and in a good working range of angles with the chain.  |  Photo: Lennard Zinn
