Simplex SX610T Rear Derailleur - Install
I am having trouble installing one of these. I could get it screwed in, however, it doesn't seem to want to bend around the right way. Can anyone recommend the proper way to do this? Am I being too vague?
With thanks,
With thanks,

There is a little tab that has to catch the front edge of the hanger. You can see it in this picture of my Gitane:

Is your drop out marked as a Huret? They are somewhat different than other models!
