I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
I was just trying to install the cable on one of these early Campagnolo front derailleurs, and couldn’t get the anchor bolt to tighten enough to keep the cable from slipping.
Have any of you guys come across this problem before?
It seem that the little slot in the bell crank arm is too deep, so the anchor bolt/washer just bottom out before it actually clamps the cable.
The only thing I figured I could do, was to wrap the cable around the anchor screw, and double it back down towards the bottom bracket.
It seems to work, and actually doesn’t look too bad, because it help disguise the loose cable end.
But, it really isn’t the way it was designed to work, so I just wondered if there was something I was doing wrong?
