Sorry to hijack the thread - although the answer here may help the OP
- but I wonder if the Patricks have any notion what is going on with
my recent restore.  I saved a Raleigh Super Course from ignominious
fixiedom.  I have a 46-36-26 up front which I wanted to pair with a 13
-30 7 in the back.  The Ultegra long cage would not hit the 30.
Switched to a 14-28 which works very well.

Could it be the location of the der hanger?  Perhaps the chainstays
are too long?
