The derailleur would not fit differently or tigher to the frame. I replaced it with an earlier Suntour RD that I had on hand - that doesn't have an adjustment for the cable (i.e. friction only type). [does anyone know of a inline adjustment that'd mate to where the cable housing fits the derailleur?] The accushift levers seem to be 7 speed index only but I got the indexing working. Hopefully that'll work for now.
The Blase derailleur is still perplexing. It appears the stop screw sets against the integrated cam plate. The cam plate has two stop areas. I'm wondering if the frame dropout is supposed to have a ridge that one of the stop area mates against. This bike frame does not.
