I bought the Microshift R8 FD0128 front derailleur from you as compatible unit to replace the Sumano Sora FD-3304. My old unit had a screw on the end to allow the deraileur to come apart so the chain could be placed inside the derailleur. The Microshift has a rivet in that place, so there appears to be no way to get a chain inside of the derailleur.

Most front derailleurs, like the microSHIFT R8 Front Derailleur require you to remove the connecting link or use a chain tool to open the chain up to install it though the cage.
