I have had bad experiences with GT luxe, or almost anything that bears a resemblance. In my experience it's hard to find one with good parallelogram pins, which when worn, cause up to 1/2" of side to side lateral movement at the lower jockey gear/wheel. It makes for sloppy
gear grinding shifts unless you are very precise with the lever. Maybe it's not the pins themselves, but the parallelogram parts that wear out around the pins. I went through five on one bike, trying to find a good one. Suntour gear is awesome when it's in great condition, but like anything will get sloppy with age.,,,,BD
