Ahhh . . . OK. Makes sense; thanks for the info and the actual measurement.

Now why didn't that occur to me? That gets rid of the unused cogs but still keeps the stock spacing (and is better than the setups I've seen with just the inside cogs removed). Dumb question: can you get more limit adjustment by changing the length of the limit screws?
