Question/Confirmation on a Suntour Cyclone M-II Rear Derailleur
I have a Cyclone II on the 84 Novara Randonee I am currently refreshing. My question is did this RD come with a cable tension adjuster? I don't think it did, in all the pictures on the web I see the cable housing runs right into the rear of the RD body and from what I read on Disraeli Gears Suntour was going light and Aero with this RD to the extreme so my theory is the cable tension screw got dropped in favor of light and aero....or am I missing something?



cabled up


cable housing as it enters back of derailleur body


SunRace MD10 for comparison with cable adjuster with spring
