The standard answer to any such question about French componets is "Who the hell knows?" The French have made inconsistency into an art form. But that said, Dural Forge were largely pre-1970 and I've never seen a set in what I'd call short reach. Racers lasted a lot longer, although pushed down to cheaper bikes for the last decade or so. Never really seen short reach in those either, though it is more likelly than with Dural Forge.
