Jóka (1st style)

Joka derailleur (1st style) main image

This first style of Jóka is a simple basic derailleur, distinguished by its eccentric use of traditional screw heads - for the adjustment screws, for the cable clamp bolt and for the pulley bolts.

Overall it’s nicer than a Triplex and nastier than a Huret.
