    Doug I tried the fitting under the bolt both ways and I still could not get the top of the cage any closer.It would be nice to be able to adjust the cage angle. Jack

    New booms

    Got them on ok after all. First try the front of the chainring was way too high. Spent a couple of hours today and got the derailleur to work. Ended up bending the back of the derailleur down and grinding the back part of the cage.The angle is still not quite right but it does work. A good bike...

    My next conversion

    That way you could keep the seat way back in the frame.I think you get a lot better ride with a lot of recline so wont miss the suspension that much. Jack

    Darn Nice conversion crankset
