I'd say I got lucky, in a back handed kinda way. I messed with the limit adjustment, which did nothing to alleviate the problem. I also adjusted as far as it would go in both directions...over several different adjustments....which did nothing.

But, then again, I didn't put the derailleur into the spokes, which would have really freaked me the #### out.

If I understand fietsbob correctly, switching from 7 speed to 7 speed should mean no real difference for chain width.

I'll talk to the local experts at the LBS tomorrow and hopefully, take care of the problem.


Frankly, I'm thinking, for all of my tight budget...very tight budget, I'm ending up with a list of "wants" and "needs."

Which is a bit discouraging.... I mean who wants to spend money simply to stay in motion. It is a lot more fun to spend money to stay in motion with style!
