How does the Cyclone FD handle getting from the granny to the middle ring? The SLJ double FD on mine can do it, but it isn't always exactly smooth- I often end up over-shifting up onto the big ring then dropping it back down...
I've got a Holdsworth to build up with a Cyclone set and Campy crank, so it's very good to see a 45t 'inner' will work as the big ring (going to see if I can get away with 42/46 double and a 13-32 FW on it, but likely will end up triplizing eventually). Red Clover is great stuff, breathing new & useable life into old gear and saving aging knees at the same time!
The cyclone is working great. I can over shift is coming from the 24 but you use the granny so rarely that I don't worry about it. My thing is just knowing I have the security of really low gears.
