Hi guys,
I'm having huge trouble getting the deraliuer to shift into the largest easiest gear closest to the frame because the top jockey wheel on the derailuer actually just doesn't get close to clearing it.
the hanger and deraliuer are both straight, both replaced in the last few days.
I bought a new deraluier and it wont shift to the first aka largest aka closest to the wheel / dropouts gear its about two inches too high. So it (the deraulier) knocks into the largest easiest cog. I've fiddled with the B screw already tightening it all the way in. But the deraulier jockey wheel keeps rubbing against the first gear cog on the cassette.
The smallest aka High Limit screw is already correctly adjusted I believe and I just had the deraliuer and hanger replaced so they are straight. the only thing I can think of is adjust the b screw but it didn't get the deraluer to be able to shift to the largest cog when i ADJUSTED IT.
As the picture below shows (the deraliuer is too high, not enough vertical distance between the hanger/dropouts and deraliuer jockey wheels. I know its not on the second largest gear, but when it is, the same thing described happens. it won;t shift to the largest because half the jockey wheel hits it.
The gears are currently on (1/3 in front) and (2/7 in back) the largest cog easiest gear to ride in is 1, which I can't switch to.
