Okay, as far as Cambios go ... back when I was mulling over my psychotic idea to develop a Cambio rig for use with a selectable fixed/freewheel unit, I thought about this ...
What if you developed toothed inserts that could be used with existing long Campagnolo 1010 dropouts? The one on the right could have a tab that bolted into the derailleur ear, and on both sides there would be a tab to help secure it in place in the hollow web area ... since the actual dropout would be load bearing, and the inserts would be placed their only to help guide the toothed portions to help them stay aligned, I think it would work.
They would then be replaceable, which was one of the flaws of the original Campagnolo design - the dropouts would eventually wear and no longer function correctly ...
Russ Fitzgerald, who has obviously thought about this too much ....
