Let me chip in here. When I got the MTB bug around 1980, I wanted to use lots of French touring stuff. I tried some Duopars and they inevitably exploded--once I was forced to hike-a-bike several miles out of the woods. My feeling is they'll take reasonable use, but they have their limits. I also went through some Simplex LJs, even breaking the clamp band on a front. No problems with T.A. Cyclotouriste chainsets and no problems at all with Shimano and Suntour stuff.
