Yes, this model uses a braze-on mount. If your bike frame does not have a braze-on tab, you will need to purchase a separate braze-on adapter clamp that fits your seat tube diameter.

The FD-R8150 is designed to handle a maximum chainring size of 54 teeth. It is optimized for double chainring setups with a top gear capacity ranging from 50 to 54 teeth.
