I have set up a number of bikes with 10-tooth front chainring gaps, Nuovo Record rear derailleurs, and 28 tooth low gear cogs. Two things are necessary--the shortest possible chain, and reassembling the dropout adjusters so that the axle can be placed as far back as possible in the dropout slot--remove the spring from between the head of the adjuster screw and the inside surface of the dropout and replace it between the outside (rearmost) surface of the dropout and the little adjuster knob. Set the rear wheel back absolutely as far as possible in the dropouts. Cut the chain to the length that just barely will let it be shifted to the large chainring/28tooth combination.
   It may grind a little going onto and off of the 28/small ring combination but it will make that shift reliably and consistently. David Feldman Vancouver, WA
