If its a screw on version it needs to be 10mm thread for the standard FD OEM gearlever.
 
If its a slip on version located with grub screws, you need to enquire whether it comes with a plastic collar to centralise it on the grear stick.

Ok thank young will find out.

If its then grub screw version then it will be a pita as will work loose and come off in your hand when your changing gear! I have threadlocked my momo 1 as every couple of months would work loose and i could never find the tiny allen key todo it back up with Lol! :Giggle

Loctite do a thread locking glue that stops the grubs screws coming undone! ..Its strong enough to stop coming undo but weak enough to undo with allen key in the future when you want to remove it !

(the blue stuff you find on threads when undo bolts associated with brakes).
