Subject: [CR]working with Campy "Sport" rear mechs

Anyone had much experience setting-up Campy "Sport" single-pulley rear mechs? I experienced some of that dreaded chain slippage from not enough chain wrap around the freewheel. Looks like I might be able to take a link out - so how much chain is correct with one of these shifters?

Other than that it shifts just fine - in fact it shifts better than some of the GS and Record derailleurs I've played with. I'm guessing the previous owner of the bike wasn't pushing nearly 190 Lbs, or riding up many steep hills.
