Are Nuovo Record derailleurs over-rated? In 5 years on this forum I don't think I've ever heard anyone praise their shifting qualities. I think it's the Japanese derailleurs that are over-rated. Not that they suck or anything, I like 'em. But everyone is always going on about how great they are, and I really can't tell that big a difference between my Cyclone II and my V-Luxe on one hand, and my NR and Jubilee on the other. If you have a decent freewheel they all shift pretty well as far as I'm concerned.
