The 7-GT should get the job done, though! http://www.velobase.com/ViewComponen...108&AbsPos=393

Yeah, I thought the a-4050's cage looked a bit short. The 7-GT would do, I'm sure, but it's fugly!

Hey, I recall that to get more chain wrap out the Simplex L.J. Super I once had on the PX-10, I replaced the short alloy cage with a long steel cage from a Simplex Maxy. I wonder if I could make another Frankenrailleur out of the two Hurets? Crazy...
