A little off-topic here:
The Mountech was an ultra-smooth shifting high capacity DR, but t had a few problems as you probably have noted already. They are
described in Disraeli Gears.
I have them on a couple bikes - and I am still waiting for them to implode.
My bikes though are not subject to grimy chains, or dusty conditions.
YMMV.
