Well … I have a Jubilee on a bike that was built in around 2003. The derailleur was probably used already by the time it was put on the bike, but it’s at least that old. I’ve put many miles on it, including a full brevet series and one edition of PBP. The previous owner put many more miles on it (I got the bike in 2015). Still going strong and shifting very well indeed.
Don’t underestimate the durability of those old French parts! P.S. I do have a backup Jubilee in my parts archive just in case, but so far no need for it. –Eric N > On Dec 19, 2021, at 8:22 PM, Nick Payne <njh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > As someone who owned a couple of Duopars back in the 1980s, they worked > better than anything else around at the time when new, but they were rather > flimsy and easily bent, and even if you managed to avoid bending them, they > wore out rather quickly in real world conditions. > > The Jubilee was just as fragile... > > Nick > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/rbw-owners-bunch/0c818cb0-f0f9-48d9-aea4-473443dac7cen%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
