Also you may want to get some dropout adjuster screws and move your rear wheel close to the front of the dropout.

The original Chorus from the Syncro days. http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.as...=108&AbsPos=25

Yeah my bad, I clicked on the wrong picture when I uploaded it; here's the Chorus I was talking about.



As far as the insert goes, indeed I picked up the right one for the 7 speed Chorus in the B position (black). The freewheel is a Regina 7 speed Synchro and the chain is a Sedis Sport. Also, why would I want to move the axle forward? Actually I just removed a set of dropout adjusters because 1) I not so sure they are needed and 2) I ordered an NOS set that are Campy short dropout specific..
