2698.0. "MAILLARD ARIS F/W PEERFORMANCE" by WMOIS::GIROUARD_C () Wed Oct 27 1993 13:44

     Anyone have any practical - real life experience with how the
     Maillard Aris freewheel plays with a CAMPY indexed system?
    
     Why? Why am I looking at some starnge none Ti/Italian component?
    
     Elementary, you would-be Watsons... I am seriously thinking of selling
     my TT rocket and buying a "TT Conversion Kit" for my Merlin instead
     of outfitting and maintaining two bicycles - Thanks Justin!
    
     So, I'm lloking at a pair of the new Specialized/Dupont S wheels
     (subsidized by the sale of my TT machine) BTW, that TT machine is
     really tricked out...
    
     Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

My setup is Campy record ergo with 7 speed Sachs freewheel
Works fine.  Make sure you get a 93 version, there is some
minor spacing difference, I forgot the color variant.  I am
sure if you order through a volume mail order ie: Colorado
Cyclist you should have no problem. 
I imagine the 8 speed should also work.

I too would have thought it would work ok, because Sachs-Aris make an
Ergopower brake/shift lever (when I heard about this I hoped it might be
offered at a keen price but in fact it's a top-line item and costs at
least as much as the Campag C-Record Ergo lever). Obviously this must
work with Sachs-Aris freewheels.

It's quite confusing nowadays trying to understand how the European
manufacturers link together. I *think* that Sachs, Aris, Huret and Maillard
are all part of the same group now, combining to meet the competition.

    Yes, Sachs, Aris, Huret and Maillard are now part of the same
    consortium. Isn't it disconcerting how companies are getting brought
    together to make super-companies, in all industries...  In 20 years
    time, small businesses will cease to be and we'll all be at the mercy
    of 10 massive global companies...
