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.
