Morning All,

Besides the much nicer cage plates and adjustable ball bearing pulleys on the Criterium derailleurs, was there any other 'appreciable' different between these two? I ask because I just "converted" a NOS Prestige to 'Neo Criterium' status because the Criterium I had suffered a broken low adjuster thread body (Delrin part!!). I used Bullseye pulleys instead of the Criteriums (two broken teeth), but the derailleur body appears to be pretty much the same (same for springs and other internals). In fact, the newer Prestige was easier to disassemble (probably because it WAS new!).

If anyone needs some Criterium parts, let me know.
