DISRAELI GEARS

Ultra-lightweight - long cage models

This is a identity parade of long cage derailleurs weighing less than 213g excluding hanger plate. I chose ‘less than 213g’ as the cut off because the relatively modern, supposedly lightweight, Shimano Dura-Ace (7700 GS) weighs in at 212g.

Note that the long cage Huret Jubilee (2248) is one of the lightest derailleurs in the whole collection - handily lighter than any Campagnolo or Shimano racing derailleur.

The derailleurs are shown in order of weight, with the lightest first.
