htfuing was cool 5 years ago but now I enjoy the art of the spin.
I'm determined to get this to work. Looking at it again and it seems the gap is more like 6mm.
I think I can file the slot and get 2mm, possibly 3mm. Another option would be these angled shims people use for oval chainrings, like so:
Which I think would rotate the derailleur downwards enough to get the desired gap.
Part of me thinks this will work, the other that I should just go semi compact 52 36 and forget it.
