Subject: [CR]Spacing problems with Regina CX freewheel

I have two sets of wheels built with 1981 Campy Record hubs 126mm rear spac ing. One set of these wheels has a Regina Oro freewheel and the other a Re gina CX. Both Freewheels are 6 speed 13/21. When fully threaded onto the hub, the CX only has about 3mm of space between the outside of the small cog and the inside of the dropout and the Oro has about 6mm of space. Ther e is a 3mm difference in the space between the outside of the large cog and the spokes as well. All of this a problem because the CX is correct for t he bike but when using the small cog, the chain gouges up the inside face of the dropout. Is this a design issue with the CX or am I missing someth ing? Any help would be appreciated.
