I am interested in buying a Shimano M413. One question regarding installing the FD M413 -- can the cage be opened to insert the chain? I do not have tools to remove and insert a chain pin and would like to open the cage. I read that some cages have a screw in the tail that allows one to open the cage. Does M413 open up at the tail end or is it riveted? Also, looking at photos it appears that there is a space in the front (head) of the cage between the outer wall and what appears to be a flange in the inner wall -- is the space sufficient to let one push the chain through the gap?. Appreciate your valuable opinion. Many thanks!
Sorry Bob, I don't recall, I am in China for another week+. I installed it on a frame up build, so I did not join the chain until after I threaded it through.
