HURET SVELTO rear derailleur: service clean disassembled Dismantled

Huret Svelto. Believe this was a rather entry level derailleur. Quite honestly, compared to some modern day junk, this derailleur has some parts that set it apart from contemporary mass produced products. Simplistic in design, yet brutal, I quite like that every part can be seen. Heres a link to the velobase website with more details velobase.com/ViewComponent.as...

Thanks for the video. Do you know if the limit screws on a Jubilee are 3mm with 0.6mm pitch? A standard 0.5pitch definitely doesn't work, seems to measure at 0.6mm and that's an old French standard but not sure.

Been searching on french forums for any info. Can’t find anything to confirm. Also looked at patents on disraeli gear website, also nothing. Don’t have this derailleur anymore either.

@@atboy4342 thanks for looking! I wonder if older Huret derailleurs would also use French thread pitch.

​@@vaynomblenner I just checked using a limit screw from an old Huret Allvit (1st from 1958), to see if it went into a Allvit from I think the 70’s. They both were interchangeable. I also tested a Simplex limit screw from a SX410. It didn’t work. So I would say yes atleast from 1958.

@@atboy4342 Neat, thanks! Great idea to check with a Simplex, I will also do that with one I have.
