I have stumbled across a lifetime supply of NOS Mavic road components and spare parts. Vintage I
would guess to be late 80's. Headsets, freewheel hubs, and derailleurs. Help would be appreciated:
Does the Mavic 840 rear derailleur index well with Shimano 7-speed stuff? I've read in Usenet that
it works - but I've also got a new Ultegra unit, and is there really any point in installing the
Mavic if the shifting simply isn't as good? And how do I route the cable? Through or over the little
plastic thingy? Looking through Usenet, I've seen both as the correct answer.
The matching front derailleurs are braze-on units that I have not seen before. It does not fit a
standard braze-on. Did Mavic produce a clamp fort these to fit a standard steel frame?
Thanks!
