Sugino compacts
Is this Sugino compact good quality, stiff, and smooth shifting? Square taper is still what those big track riders use, right? I'm 190 lbs.
My Truvativ Rouleur GXP 50-36 has some front deraileur rub on the downstroke- can't believe it's flexing with a exo bb. My Dura-Ace never did that. I wish they made a compact (the new FC model is heavy).

I have the one that you illustrate and the "stronglight" (also Sugino but mine is 50, 36). Both work very well. Work fine with SIS. The word that I hear is that the Sugino is rather high Q but if it is, I don't notice it. I am using standard Ultegra 9sp front derailleurs with both.

Are you trying to set the record for the highest "new thread" count?
