Yes, WNG, those are old and a bit worn Bullseye pulleys on the RD. I got that from Harlan, btw, forgot to mention it before, along with a bunch of other random stuff that was in his basement and now is in mine.

I thought Cyclone would be a reliable, appropriate and cheap way to go on the shifting, but the chance to add an extra red color element was a plus.
Trying to source a Technomic locally, looks like I won't have the bike ready for a weekend ride, at least not at 100%.
