Howdy,

Replacing my front derailleur as I gone and bent the old one. Upon removing the main mech unit, there is still an external band around the tube. It is not brazed onto the frame, more like a band but it has stayed on while the mech unit has come away. Is it an adapter for braze on mechs? Or was it a band on derailleur? It's the original Shimano 105 that came with the bike (Scott Speedster 20). Looks like this below but attaches this but not as posh ;).

I could take a pic when I'm home later if that helps. Thanks

It is an adapter. Some mechs only come in one format and you buy the adapter as an addition if you need it.
