RD hanger threads, anyone?
A few years ago someone posted in C&V that Campy's RD hanger threads were slightly different from those of Shimuntour. They could be forced to work but one shouldn't switch back and forth. (I know, Simplex hangers are completely different and incompatible with even the Simplex RD's they were designed to work with.)
Is there really a difference in the threads? The world is awash with wonderful old Suntour RD's and Campy dropouts. Do any of you folks mount Cyclones or similar on your High-talian bikes? Or non-High-talian bikes built with Campy DO's?
I'm just curious about build options.
