Theres no wear but it can slide side to side a bit. Am I missing a washer between the mech and the frame or is the float there on purpose?

Agency_Scum Retrobike Rider Feedback View Sep 28, 2009 #3 Always ask the dumb questions... Is the mech hanger bolt done up all the way? Is there a problem with the frame's mech hanger? Does the mech hanger thread need chasing? Have you compared your mech to others to see if there's bit's missing. Is the B tension screw contacting the frame's screw stop?
