It does this in every gear. My issue with the big/big is that while I can get into the big cog from the small chainring, I can’t from the large chainring. When I adjust the RD so that I can, it hits the spokes when going to the large cog on the small chainring. Essentially I can’t get to the large cog from both chainrings – it’s one or the other depending on how I set the RD.
The RD mounts directly to the threaded dropout, no claw.
The angle I was referring to was the angle that the RD hangs (if that makes sense). The cage was bent originally, which I “straightened” by hand – maybe it isn’t exactly straight yet?
