Funny how experiences differ a bit... I've found that all these derailleurs need a stiff chain, at least if you're using 28 tooth large cogs (or larger on the Duopars). In fact, if the cahin is sufficiently stiff, you can get a Duopar to index between 2 or 3 of the smaller cogs - but that's another story. Anyway, the trick is finding such a chain these days. Who made a stiff chain that's norrow enough for an Ultra-6 freewheel and where can I get one now? Best regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
