Simplex Vs. Huret!

Hi all,

I've been following this forum for a good while now and finally got round to signing up and this is my first post. I hope its all good.

I am currently restoring a peugeot ph11 and collecting all the parts. I have bought a Huret Challenger II derailleur group with shifters. This is NOS and in very good condition. I nderstand it to be a good derailleur and kept it french.

I now have the opportunity to get hold of a simplex SX410 derailleur set with shifters which has the peugeot sticker instead of simplex. Beautiful.

Now the SX410 would be the one on the original model but as I understand it the Huret Challenger is a better derailleur. What does everyone else think?

I know it can be quite arbitary to say which derailleur is better than which but any opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.
