Based on my experience with Simplex and based on Sheldon's comments about Japanese components, I would change to the Suntour parts and keep the original parts in a sealed bag. I'm not real big on derailers that disintegrate, and I'm not real big on a bike that breaks down many miles from home, but hey, that's just me You didn't say what level the SUntour parts were, if they're Cyclone I'd certainly make the change. If they're Superbe, I'd send the components to me for proper handling.
