I'm reassembling the Dawes Super Galaxy and am having problems shifting into the small chainring. I've backed the adjuster screw all the way out but the derailleur stops short before contacting the screw.
There is a pivot that looks slightly like a dual headed hammer (a T). The adjuster screws contact either side of the top of this pivot. When the derailleur folds up into it's normal state the outer side of this T hits against t another arm and stops further closing movement.
This is very odd - has anyone seen this behavior, and what's the fix? I checked and it seems I didn't install the axle backwards; the chainring side is a full cm wider than the other side. The dérailleur looks like this one:
