Problem fitting Deore rear derailleur to 1982 Bianchi touring
I ditched my bike on some ice, and ended up breaking the spring on my Suntour Cyclone derailleur, so I purchased a Deore M59, but no matter how I fit it, and what I do to the B screw, the back of the derailleur hits against the rear of the sprockets; it's just too close! I tried an old deore I had in my spare parts, and it has the same problem.
Now, I know this sound like a bent hanger, but I put an old, very worn out suntour mountech on, and it fits, and the hanger doesn't look bent.
What am I missing?
