If I make a movie, can it be uploaded?
I made a
quick video of my International with the original Reynolds bushed chain, with Campy NR rear derailleur and SunTour 5 speed New Winner freewheel (if memory serves). This is linked to a file in my google folder.
For the sake of comparison, I also made a
quick video of my Raleigh Team with a SRAM PC-48 eight speed bushingless chain (with Campy SR rear derailleur and SunTour New Winner 6 speed freewheel). As before, this is a link to a file in a google folder.
If these links don't do the job, I could upload to my youtube channel.. but let's see how this goes first.
I think it is clear that the shifting with the bushed chain is slower and noisier, but I'm certainly not an unbiased person.
