The Shimano 105 FD-5700-F front derailleur is a braze-on model designed specifically for 10-speed double chainring road bikes, supporting a maximum tooth difference of 16T, such as a 50-34T setup. This front derailleur features a bottom-pull cable design and is constructed from durable aluminum and steel, with a chrome-plated steel cage and stainless steel fixing bolts, balancing weight and strength efficiently. Weighing approximately 89 grams, it offers a lightweight option that suits cyclists looking to maintain reliable shifting without excess weight.

Installation is straightforward on frames equipped with a braze-on mount, and it can also be adapted to clamp mounts compatible with Shimano non-Di2 systems, making it versatile for both first and second generation Shimano 10-speed double drivetrains. Its chainline is set at 43.5mm, optimized for road bike geometry. The FD-5700 excels in delivering smooth, precise shifts across the front chainrings, benefiting riders who want consistent performance for road cycling, including training, racing, or recreational use. The improved chain guide shape enhances chain retention, reducing dropouts during shifts, which is valuable in varied riding conditions.
