My favorite (C&V-wise) though would have to be the DuoPar - very smooth, sure, and quiet. I’ve heard that they can be prone to twisting into spokes but never experienced it in 40 years of running them.

Been running the long cage Shimano Crane with a 14-32 freewheel in the rear and a 52/42/32 crank in the front and it runs like a champ.
