But to be honest, does not look beatiful, will try in the future a rally cage, the Suntour gt and who knows maybe my own made long cage!

After a 10 min ride to fit stem and seat ,rd hack seems to work…. Waiting now for the white handlebar to arrive.

Thanks! didn't realize till now. Sent him a PM, hopefully still available.

Hi, I'll take the suntour RD if availeble, I'll send you a PM

just tried with a rear mech extender and seems to work…. Pending live test during the weekend. Anyhow still looking for a cheap suntour gt re to compare.

Thanks, I know who can print it and then cast it , but missing the 3D design ... In the meantime I' looking after a Suntour GT RD, that will be period correct and will allow me to ride the bike during Xmas ;)

Anyone please, a version from the 70’s. Ideally from EU to avoid customs…thanks

I’m afraid I have to abandon this path….. I got a 4mm aluminium plate and started to cut it but just realized don’t have the proper tools nor skills so can’t continue this way. Final try would be to draw and print a 3D model and then cast it. I have the contacts for 3D printing and casting but...

and where's the fun then ? ;) Easy solution is also to get a Rally cage /RD or the new long cage mods availble but my goal was to make something as similar as possible to the NR cage.

good tip! thanks for the advice

good job, told by one who did some attempts as well so knows how hard it is!

I'm starting to thing this is useless.... I've drafted potential outer cage designs and the first one guess what is pretty similar to the Rally one ;) I've realized that the cage for the 1st gen Rally was following the design of the later super record v2 outer cage already (better said, the...

Let me show the bike as well ;)

After testing different combinations, I'm happy with the one in the video to producing final version. Maybe not the optimal, but shifts well and the cage does not look too large, that is something I'm trying to avoid just for aesthetics. There are many factors to consider other than the...

Agreed! that's my next step, thanks for the hint.

That is the goal! thanks

That is a good question. I still need to investigate and learn further but what I've observed is that both magnitudes are related, as the cage really pivots over the frame bolt. And the amount of rotation depends on the size of the cage and the size of the cogg. What in a 13 cogg you see a hole...

Right, Spencer Wofl mods (there are several ones) was a source of inspiration, like the campagnolo rally cage, the Suntour GT and the XC with 3 pulleys. Also the old Shimano MTB XT rd's. But at the end , I want to create something that looks similar to the original, and the constrain I have is...

Thanks. Electrical engineer, but engineer after all ;)
