>>1351004>You asked about this like a month agoYeah I already said that.
>you still haven't done anythingI just rode my brother's bike because fixing it seemed too much hassle. But now he's taken his bike so I guess I need to fix it.
>you can easily avoid the chain rub with a small spacerDo you reckon something like pic related would work? I would have thought plastic would be better so it doesn't grind away at anything, but I can only find metal ones when I google it.
>Option 3 is the best, I've had a bunch of friends do the same, worked every time. Make sure you get a non-bike-specific mechanic/metalworker to do it thoughFair. I guess I might try and look up a metalworker then.
>>1351014Is that just a regular replaceable derailleur hanger that would fit on a normal modern bike? But you're just putting it over the top on a steel frame? Firstly would it be thick enough such that the derailleur's bolt won't poke out the other side and create a gap? And secondly would the derailleur actually have enough reach to get all the way to the largest sprocket if you did this? I guess derailleurs do have high and low settings don't they, so I guess it's just a case of readjusting those?
>>1351017That pic isn't mine, it's from the internet. Just illustrative. I doubt very much the bolt is deformed, I think it must be the thread. That's interesting you say #2 is best, it definitely seems the least hassle to me and videos on the net suggest it could work:
