Hi Eric, The Simplex chainguard is made for a piston FD. I figured out how to attach it to a Cyclone FD This was just a mock-up, BB not yet installed (waiting on a tap to chase the thread)
<http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/Lenton%20GP/aP2040007.jpg> I used an precisely measured M-5 standoff in place of the FD band bolt and made a Z-bracket using the Simplex parts that lets me put it anywhere I need. The correct length standoff is what positions the FD parallogram in the chainguard hump <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/Lenton%20GP/aP2040006.jpg> Still waiting on my custom hubs from Phil. Can't final position it until I have the drivetrain functioning. With the FD at its outmost travel, cage has to contact inside of chainguard in order for the low-Q crankarms to clear the chainguard. <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/Lenton%20GP/c99018ca-a568-4b9d-bf69-1df7de9583fb.jpg> But I've mocked up everything to know it's going to work. I now have the BB and crank installed and need Phil to come through with my hubs. Already approved by Phil Engr and paid for. They're 115mm rear OLD for a 5-sp freewheel with Synergy OC rims to minimize wheel dish. Come on Michael at Phil... On Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 10:29:37 AM UTC-5, Eric Norris wrote: > > Nice!
