Hi Charlie,

By interesting coincedence, just last evening I tried a 13-28 freewheel on my Campy Gran Sport triple and found the same results - the idler rumbles over the cogs of the 28T.

In the short term, I will go back to the 14 - 24 that I took off the wheel, and work on getting fitter! I wonder if a 26T will work or not.

Regards,

Larry Strung
