While doing some routine cleanup I noticed a gap I think is unusually large in the linkage of my early ‘70s (no circllip) fd. The gap is a little over 2mm wide. I disassembled it and the pin bearing at the center of the pivot spins freely and does not shift out. The cable pull vector may be pulling a little rearward but it running thru a fixed Campy bb cable guide so I can’t adjust that.
Is this normal wear? Should I be thinking replacement?
