| Mar 30, 2011 at 3:22 | comment | added | darkcanuck | can you put the note about using a 7-cog cassette with an 8-speed shifter into the body of your question? That's very important information! | |

| Mar 29, 2011 at 19:37 | comment | added | Steve | @sillyyak The article had a note about alternate cable routing to use when there are 7 cogs but the shifter has 8 positions - exactly my situation. I am also pretty sure the cable loop just before the derailleur is to short. I will check both tonight. Please put your comment as an answer so I can give you credit if that solves the problem. | |

| Mar 29, 2011 at 18:43 | comment | added | Steve | I don't recall the model of the shifters. They are shimano, purchased recently, are for 8 speeds, and have a combo friction/index mode. I'm pretty sure the original derailleur is an Altus and non-indexed. I've read that these were pre-cursors to indexed shifters, but not quite there. The bike is a LeTour from 83-84. | |
| Mar 29, 2011 at 18:07 | comment | added | DC_CARR | What shifters are you using? And what cog set do you have? Predates index shifting? What else does it predate? I had an early 80's racing bike with indexed shifting. | |
