Interesting. My experience with the Duopar has been quite different. I replaced a long-cage Cyclone on my touring bike with a Duopar way back in 1979 or so when the Duopar was first introduced and was amazed at how much better it worked than the Cyclone it replaced. That very same derailleur is still on my daily commuting bike and continues to work without problems.
