I really like these for wide range triples and they keep going up up up in price.

The hinged or spring loaded section at the front of the cage is unique a nd prevents the chain from jamming during the granny-mid shift. Plus t he cage is really long.

So what are they called? The corresponding shift levers are really fi ne also. No slipping (ala Campy) and just a little longer.

By the way- this stuff is junk. Will swap comparable Campagnolo parts for such junk.
