OK, yeah, I know, probably just about any other long-cage derailleur will shift better....... But I got this Rally with a recent basket-case purchase, and I probably ought to eBay it (and make back most of what I paid for said basket-case..), but I've got a Holdsworth Pro build in progress and, well, Holdsworth & Campy, so I at least want to give it a try (before I likely retreat back to the smoothness of Suntour). This is actually the first Campy derailleur I've ever owned- and I'm impressed by how beautifully it cleaned up. BUT..... I can't figure out how the upper pivot is supposed to be re-assembled. I assume the spring needs to be 'loaded' somehow (though I don't recall it being so when I disassembled things....), but how? Anyway, any tips/tricks appreciated..

I know this isn't assembled right, I just stuck it together so I wouldn't lose the circlip. Yeah, there obviously was some sort of chain mis-hap at some point in the past, what with the 'abrasion' on the inner cage...


And this one, just because it's a really nice looking mech...
