Yikes! I didn't think the parallelogram was serviceable that way... I mean, I guess anything can be disassembled, but, wow...
I just did the best I could with what I have on hand. i got it reassembled, lubed, and mounted. Now I just gotta do some tire swapping, wheel swapping, chain jiggering, and some connoitering. Oh, and a shifter cable...
Sure will be nice when my 1 year old daughter can help!
As for the Disraeligears site, I have actually seen that - the google force is strong with me - but sometimes, what the maunufacturer states can be disproven in practice. But thanks for taking the time to post. I truly appreciate the help!
