Cheers Jon

I tried both routings but no improvement!
The channel for the cable on my derailleur is actually on the top site!
Like this pic:

routing the cable under the bolt made things worse !

I guess per the previous posters my derailleur is not indexed shifting compatible !

Okay time to report progress.

I received the veloce 9 speed rear dérailleur today.
I replaced the jockey wheels with my 8 speed tacx wheels and fitted the dérailleur to the bike.

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!

The group indexes properly !!!

Conclusion my old dérailleur was not suitable for index shifting.

I still get some noise from the jockey wheels when stretching the chain (i.e. large front and rear sprocket) but I think its from mixing brands KMC chain/ campy dérailleur/ tacx jockey wheels

Check the "B" adjuster screw: sounds like the jockey wheel cage could be a little high.

Do you mean losen the screw to bring the jockey wheels closer to the large sprocket? (or the oposite?)

The opposite: my *guess *is that they are too close to the sprocket. A regular, clicking/ticking noise?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
