Huret derailleur performance

[jim haseltine]

A Svelto was good when new but wore very quickly even if maintained. Unlike the Eco which was never great but would go on and on and on and on and on. I suspect there are still some 1970s Ecos out there doing sterling work every day.

Suntour VX if you don't want to spend out for cyclone.

I remember my Cyclone Mk2 being absolutely brilliant. It shifted really well, was super light, good to look at, and it survived a few offs with just a bit of filing required to get rid of the gravel rash.

Looks like a Svelto, cheap and cheerful and graced many a Carlton and Raleigh. Worked OK until someone dropped the bike sideways on it lol

Spawned the lightest mech of the era and beloved of TT bods.

Yes the beloved Huret Jubilee Mech that the King Alf Engers used on his famous speed machine
