Thanks. Here's the best picture I'm gonna get with my camera before the sun comes up.
I'll lengthen the chain, I have to get some of those single use pins from the LBS. It's a Shimano HG-73.
I'd like to take some spacers out but it gets real tight when I go to take the wheel out. If I could put the wheel in and then install the last cog I could gain several MM, as it is, I could maybe get 2 or 3 MM more.
I could probably fix all my problems with some cheap Shimano deraillers but where's the fun in that?
Oh, the spokesmodel? She'll do anything to get to stay up later than her little sister. Doesn't matter what actual time she goes to bed so long as little sis goes first.
