Hmmmm, other than the pedals I thought that this was just about finished but the front mech cable rubs on the frame and the derailleur... I thought this might happen but until I put it together I couldn't know for sure.

We’re rollers with bigger diameters available BITD? This one is 30(ish)mm and I'm guessing that something with a larger OD would resolve the rubbing.

The roller in #101 looks similar to mine but the cable stop is to the front of the frame plus (I think) it's a XT derailleur which might have some clearance advantages that the XC Pro one doesn’t.

Will it not route round the roller the other way ..from back of the roller to the front, then cross under the mech to the bolt

Good idea - thank you

I now need to shorten the cable clamp bolt as the few millimetres that stick out of the bolt on the other side are binding with the cable when it’s on the small ring. Job for tomorrow…

XC Pro Top Pull instead?

That would work but I’d like to use the roller.

Seems to be working now.

Thinking of using these and a set of XC bear traps.

None of that newfangled SPD stuff for this early 90’s build
