=======================

my rear derailleur cannot be set to work across the whole cassette any more

it used to work great, i haven;t done anything to it like wrecking

it;s old, but good
shimano 600
7 speed
index shifters, downtube, pretty simple

if i set it so the big ones index right, then the little ones ones don;t
vice versa

it has a lot of miles and years on it
possibly the hanger is bent slightly, maybe the jockey wheel has play, maybe the whole thing has play from side to side

if it was one of those, though, which one would produce my symptoms?

it acts like the cassette spacers aren;t equal, but they are
or like the shifter's 'cable winding drum' isn;t round, but how can that be?

i realize the shifter might be doing it, but i doubt that, it always worked right before

i also don;t think it;s due to friction in the housing, or where it goes around the BB
there is only about 8" of housing involved, so even if that was bad, there shouldn;t be a lot of slack or slop in that
