Hello J69 Thanks for the reply. It initially did move the chain onto the smaller chain ring but now it wont move it back, there is no movement of any kind. If there are meant to be two clicks on the left lever there are none so maybe I can assume it does not work. I bought if off ebay...

Hello I have a set of the above levers on my down tube and the left lever which is the friction one will not change the small chain ring to the larger one and vice et versa. I had just picked it up from my LBS and was informed there was no click on the left hand side lever(?) Not sure what...

Also now after inspecting the jockey wheels their dust cap covers have signs of wear (daylight is showing through!) on both of them and the wheels themselves look well worn. Is it possible to buy new replacements or is it a case of buying another 600 SIS rd and using it for parts?

All great information. Thank you for taking the time and effort to reply...everyone 😀

Nice...as they would say on the Fast Show 😁

😮😮😮...I nearly choked on my cornflakes lol

Thank you...Prior to removing the pin I liberally applied penetrating oil which has degreased the internal spring so I guess I need to regrease it. Is there a reason why my jockey wheels have a capital A on one and a capital B on the other? In hindsight I should of taken more notice when...

Would you grease the main spring assembly before you put it back in? Thank you.

Hi Peoples...It was a very simple job to remove the pin as it wasn't stuck firm and took me a minute or so...anyone know where I can find simple instructions almost Dummy Guide like to stripping down a 600 RD and rebuilding it? Just wondered lol

Not as thick as me 😁

Ta everyone...I wondered about the Philips pin but thought best to ask before I created another problem...

I love a grave yard me...I'm not ready just yet...they tend to be quieter than my local park...unfortunately you don't get many ice cream vans unlike my local park.

Hello I have caused myself another problem... Wanting to give the RD a good clean I removed the jockey plate and the jockey wheels, etc unfortunately the tension/knuckle spring(?) does now not want to return to its original position as I do not have the strength or another pair of hands to...

A very beautiful bicycle, sometimes it's good to stand out from the crowd 😁. I do have a Columbus os el frame made by an Italian builder for Concorde. It's the best finished frame I have ever owned. I'm most impressed by the build quality. Thank you for taking the time to comment and help...

I must admit I do prefer the look rather than a bulky looking front but also I don't enjoy leaning too far forward as this causes problems for my back.

I do have Camp Ergo 8s but I prefer down tube gear shift levers.

So buy a Campagnolo RD of the same vintage...Thank you!

So basically probably by the sounds of it and to make make my life easier buy a Campagnolo RD of the same vintage as the cassette would be best. Thank you for the information though!

Hello I have bought a bicycle with a freewheel hub which is new to me as usually I have only ever had freewheel screw on cassettes. So the cogs I discovered individually slide on and off...they've probably been around for decades, I'm catching up very slowly lol. I would like to use my...
