== Double or Triple? ==
 
One type of front derailleur is meant to be used on bikes with __two__ chainrings in the front, and is called a "double" front derailleur. The other is used with bikes with __three__ chainrings in the front, and is called a "triple". The only difference is that one side of the cage (the metal plates that push on the chain) is taller on a triple.
 
Here is a picture of a double next to a triple. You can see how much taller the distance in red is on a triple. This is the distance from the bottom of one side of the cage to the bottom of the other.
