I have a pair of (as yet) uncracked Simplex derailleurs and intend to remove and store them. As others have said, Suntour would be a good substitute. However on this bike current plans are to change to a wide-range touring set-up with parts already in hand: A Campagnolo Daytona triple chainset, Daytona triple front mech, Capagnolo Record 8 speed barcons, Shimano 105 long-cage rear derailleur, Shimano 14-28 7 speed freewheel, KMC gold 9 speed chain. I believe these will all play nicely together, will report back when it's done. Anyone see any problems likely with this mix?
