Campy Rear Derailleur

"lefty" wrote in message
om...
I recently tried using a Suntour New Winner 7spd freewheel (13-28)
with my Nuovo Record rear derailleur. Doesn't work, upper pulley
wheel is too close to the 28t cog. This same freewheel worked just
fine with the Super Record derailleur that was previously installed.
Is the a capacity tooth difference between Nuovo and Super?
Is there another Campy rear derailleur from the same era (80's) that
will work with this 28t cog.
The newer rears have a higher tooth capacity, will the work ok? Or
will the # of teeth in the pulley wheels creat a problem (if the are
different)?


Buy yourself an inexpensive ($20) Shimano derailer and it'll shift better
than that NR ever did.

The Rally was one from the 1970s & 80s, would not look out
of place on a Nuovo Record bike.

Yes newer ones will work more than "ok" - they will shift vastly
better than the old stuff, even fairly cheap ones like Veloce.
