How is it coming along?
good tip! thanks for the adviceI have both 1st and 2nd generation, the 2nd gen's had a bit of a harder life, both share the same cage. Looking a the wear on the back of the cages you may need to extend above the jockey wheel as per the original, looks like this aided shifting and chain retention

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 later super record v2 followed the design of 1st gen Rally outer cage). Please any one with more knowledge feel free to correct me / extend on this.
Anyhow, here below you can see 3 sketches of potential outer cages. It is not worth to replicate the one similar to the Rally, as I could buy one already or get the nice new mod already available (sure bets) But if the goal was to do something to look pretty close to the original NR/SR 1st gen, maybe the one I like the most is the one on the right, closer to the original. What do you thing ????
I've already ordered a 4 mm aluminium plate but starting to thing I'd better put a rear mech extender I have somewhere and go with the original cages ;(

Just checked the lower cage and more wear so maybe the cage was extended again for aiding the upshifts. The jockey wheels and pivot form a 90⁰ 75mm x 30mm L shape if that makes sensegood tip! thanks for the advice
