Dont know if anyone can help/advise - Im upgrading an old Dawes Galaxy
at moment. Have had a 22/32/42 older Deore LX chainset fitted with
110mm bb. Also, had rear wheel dished to accomodate a 7speed freewheel
(OLD is 126mm). As a result the chainline is not brill. Ive just
fitted the front mech - a Shimano Nexave, but when the chain is on the
small chainwheel & largest rear sprocket the chain rubs on the inside
face of the front mech. I cant adjust the mech over any more cos it is
already touching the chainstay, and I cant move it upwards cos that
would totally mess up the positioning for the largest chainwheel. Any
suggestions ???
I know Im trying to use an early 80's touring frame with a 1996
chainset & a more modern front mech, but Im tearing m'hair out at
moment trying to think of different solutions. Only one I can think of
is to have the bike sent to a frame builder, and have the rear stays
properly repositioned to improve the overall chainline, but I think
this could get costly !!
