Benotto 3000 resto mod

[Darrell]

I’ve as good as finished the Benotto 3000 rebuild. I’ve used Cinelli bars and quill stem, spread the rear to 130 mm and installed a Sram Force 1 groupset. The test ride was great till the last mile when the rear wheel slipped and started rubbing the stay. I’ve ch the skewers to the old type enclosed campy ones but now I need to reset the gearing. How can I stop this happening on the old horizontal rear dropouts? Every time I loosen the skewers the wheel goes out of line and needs aligning. It’s a nightmare.

The screws on the back of the dropouts should be set against the axle so the wheel returns to the same place each time

Sounds to me like your drop outs are out of parallel as a result of spreading . Gentle persuasion will sort it out if it is .

Thanks, I’ll get the bike shop to check the alignment.
