Having seen this in the thread....
has weak removal notches
I just went and dug out my Regina GS 13-26.......one notch is good but the other.....damn.


You would have to be very unsocial to own and mount a 13-26 back then.
I must have been a misanthrope. I started with a 13-26 and then bought a Rally derailluer so I could go bigger. lol...

If you are still looking, I have a Winner narrow 6 spd that I would give you for the cost of postage. I think it has a 13, so it may not solve your chain wrap problems.

Thanks very much for the information!

Thanks very much for the kind offer, Sluggo! It looks like I have one on the way already, but really appreciate the offer!
