Corsa Record R Derailleur

Postby justinl415 » Thu May 12, 2005 12:35 pm

I am looking for a C Record rear derailleur and noticed that some of the early versions don't seem to have a "B-tension" device, what gives?
On the later versions with Campag script on the paralelogram they have a little (breakable, like the one I broke on my Athena) toothed washer for B-positioning. How do you adjust the cage agle on the early ones, what am I missing?

Cheers, Justin

LOL, yeah I have never changed the angle either, but when setting up a rear mech for the first time, I do set the angle it will stay at for the duration it has the same size cogset. So what keeps these early mechs from looping up against the cogs, wheres the stop located that interacts with the dropout tab? Right now my Athena "B-tension" toothed washer broke and I've been savng up for a C-Record rear mech, but want to make sure I know the ups and downs of each version.

HEY! The rear mech you have as your avatar, thats the one I've been looking at getting. So is there no provision on those for angle adjustment if your using a San Francisco 28T low gear. I found my Athena had to be set to it's tightest position for my freeweheel. Am I going to need to run a smaller cluster combo if using an original C-Record rear mech?
