Hi all
I've recently completed a retro bike build with Dura Ace 7700. All is good except for the fact I've been through 2 rear mechs. The problem I have had on each one is the thread for the cable/tension screw going into the casting is giving up and thus tension can't be obtained and indexing fails.
Has anyone experienced the same or have I just been super unlucky with eBay seconds? Annoying as I have bought the best looking one I could each time and they're not cheap!
Any help gratefully received!

Another thought is to take the knackered cable tension adjuster on the derailleur out of the equation by using an inline barrel adjuster up front.

I agree with this approach. Plus, I never knew the adjuster mounted directly on the derailleur ever went bad.
If you want to give it another whirl, I can sell you a very nice 7700 for $55 delivered within the U.S.
If memory serves, it's only got about 2k miles - always on good chains and cogs/rings.
