First Post and yes, it's a question...

Hi all,
I am hoping one of ya'll can help me here.

Just finished recabling and rechaining my Campy 10sp
and I'm having a problem. It shifts fine through all cogs
(13 - 29) except that when in the two largest cogs the
jockey pulleys seem to be too close to the cogs and there
is to be a little binding.

The upper and lower pulleys are in the right position.

Can someone point me in the right direction??

Thanx,
tony

Most likely the problem is the B-adjustment. That's the screw that
butts up against a small flat on the rear of the dropout, and adjusting
it will move the jockey wheel closer or farther away from the cogs.
When adjusting, move the chain in both directions as it can make a
difference.

Thanks Ted. I'll see if I can find that adjustment..

Before you mess with the B-tension adjustment (it was OK before?), check
your chain's threading through the rear derailleur. If Campy is like
Shimano, there's a small "nub" or stop that is easy to miss when installing
the chain, and that can cause noise and/or funky shifting.

Is the new chain the same length as the original?

'b limit' screw behind the upper pully. Look underneath the rear der and you
will see a screw head and a worm gear, Turn that IN or righty lighty, which
will increase the spring tension there, moving the pulleys away from the cogs.
if no soap, may need to take a link out of the chain.

Thanks for all the responses folks. Turns out I cut the
chain too long. Removed three links and everything is
okey dokey. I guess too much slack and the pulleys
ride too close to the cogs. Oh well, lesson learned.

thanks again,
tony
