I used Jubilee front and rear when they were current. I thought they shifted very well. Because the rear was so light, it could get bent if you were ham fisted or crashed on it. Because the Jubilee work for me so well, I tried the Duopar when it came out. The best shifting touring rear at the time, can handle the largest rear cogs.

I have lots of miles and experience with the Simplex Super LJ derailleurs and consider them to be among the best shifting and durable (remember these are the all metal ones) from the 70's and early 80's. I happen to like them more then Campagnolo NR which I have on a few of my bikes as well. I've never used a Huret Jubilee and am curious how they compare. Certainly they weigh less as that is what they were known for, but how are they shifting and durability wise?
