Think the chain just needs a link out doesn't seem to have any tension on the rear mech at all

I've had to remove the cage 'stop screw' from my Record mechs to allow a wider range of gearing, 14-24 and 52-42. With the stop in place the chain hangs loose in 42-16 and if it is shortened it is then to short to allow 52-21. Trouble is that when the rear wheel is removed, the cage wraps around itself and tangles the chain. Best to put it in the big ring to do this.
The dropout on this frame may also have the 'stop notch' a bit further round than a standard campag dropout. This will make the mech slope forward as there is no spring in the top pivot on a Campag mech unlike Shimano and Suntour.
