Description: New-Old-Stock Suntour Cyclone 7000 Rear Derailleur w/Short Cage Thank you for your interest in this item and please visit our store for other offerings. We have very reasonable shipping terms and combine orders to save money (for customers) on shipping costs. We also maintain customer friendly return/refund/exchange policies. Product Description: This offering is for a new-old-stock Suntour Cyclone 7000 rear derailleur in the short cage (SS) model from the late 80's. With respect to the shifting capacities and other notable specifications, we have included the following... Index shifting compatibility: 6/7 speed (with Suntour branded or compatible shifters and freewheel/cassette) Friction shifting compatibility: Several options (most 5/6/7 speed freewheels/cassettes) Front capacity: Double chainring w/12T (max) difference Rear capacity: Index/Friction...26T/28T Total capacity: 28T (combined front chainring and rear sprocket difference...also known as chain wrap) Weight: 218 grams (per our digital postal scale) Other notes: The pulley cage length is the technical specification having the most direct impact on rear derailleur capacity limits. This particular model has a relatively short cage length...measuring 56 mm from the center of the jockey/guide (top) pulley to the center of the tension (bottom) pulley. The cage length is slightly longer than Shimano's designated "short cage" length of 50 mm, so this Suntour rear derailleur should compare favorably (in terms of capacity limits) to similar Shimano branded models with the short pulley cage. The primary benefit to a shorter pulley cage is less weight (although, in all honesty we are only talking about grams here, so probably not a noticeable savings for most of us). The downside, as most already know, to a shorter pulley cage is lower capacity limits, which limits these derailleurs to double crankset road bikes with a relatively narrow gear range on the freewheel/cassette. Having said the above, Suntour specified different capacity limits for this rear derailleur when in friction mode vs. indexing mode. Our experience, however, has been that friction mode capacity limits are attainable in indexing mode when care is taken to practice good shifting habbits. In other words, avoid poor chainline gear combinations that place unnecessary stress on the drivetrain (and please see the more detailed note that follows regarding Suntour drivetrain capacity limits). Our Suntour catalogs make a clear distinction between their sport/recreation components and their competition-level components, and without exception the Suntour Cyclone series components are always included among the latter. We are not saying this Suntour Cyclone derailleur is the equivalent of Suntour's top-end offerings, but it's still considered a competition-level derailleur designed for the additional stresses brought about by competitive cycling. As for condition, all of these rear derailleur units are still retail boxed, so each one will be in very nice cosmetic condition.

Note to international customers regarding shipping... We apologize to those that feel some of our international shipping charges are too high. We only charge actual shipping rates, but once an order exceeds a certain amount, we hesitate to use the least expensive US Postal Services First Class International service. We feel this way, because this service is not trackable or insurable...so more risk of loss. We prefer the US Postal Services Priority Mail International service for more expensive orders, because this service is trackable at USPS.com and insurable...so less risk of loss. Unfortunately, this service is more expensive, especially for smaller/lighter packages, relative to the First Class International service. We are sorry about these higher shipping costs, but hopefully our notes help to explain why this is the case. Note to international customers regarding customs... We also apologize to those that feel their country import taxes, duties and brokerage fees are excessive. As a small US business, we are required by customs' laws to declare each order as a retail sale. Additionally, the declared order value must be equal to total store purchases and/or winning auction bids (less any shipping costs, as these are not considered in the declared value). As a result, each customer will be responsible for paying his/her own country taxes, duties and brokerage fees, which will be collected upon delivery. Again, we apologize for these additional costs, but we cannot afford the penalties and fines that come with breaking customs' laws...so we have to strictly abide by them.
