I've been refurbishing my last Ellis-Briggs and run into a little problem. Three different rear derailleurs (NR, Jubilee, off-topic newer Campy "Rally") that I've tried all want to run into spokes on the top cog. At first I attempted to deal with this by using a freewheel spacer, but now it really looks like that gap is too large. Now I'm suspecting that the drop out is bent in a tad, thereby angling the der cage in too far.
So my question is: what is typical minimum cog-to-spoke spacing (70's era components)? ++++++++++++++++++++++ Well, this may not be real encouraging, and it isn't exactly the answer, but there are frustrating memories of trying to figure out when one **** spoke still hit the inside cage with the old Campy gran sport and 120 mm ends. It was always close. And, this was with the spokes interlaced to minimize how far they stuck out.
