Default Rear Derailleur question

If you read my previous post you will know I was looking for a longer
pulley bolt, LLBean's which is down the street from me actually found
one for me!

Now, I put everything back together (Shimano Alvio on a 97 Specialized
Hardrock GX)but when the chain is on the smallest cog, the chain rubs up
along the bottem of the derailleur cage, in fact the cage is almost
parrallel to the chain stay. The "B" adjustment screw is in its proper
place and setting. I am fluxed. Any ideas? Thanks Ron

If I understand what you are describing correctly (While in the
small-small combo, rear der. cage has no chain tension upon it, and due
to its angle, is subject to chain rub), your chain is too long. Take
out a link or two, and you should be fine.

Shorten the chain.
