Have you tried the pulley swap on the derailure? It's brilliant. Puts the

You are right about the slackening of the angles when sliding the wheel back.
For some reason I wasn't imagining the hub as the fixed point.
The ram only had a 73degree ht angle in size 60 and above. Below that it
ranged from 71-72.5 in for different angles depending on frame size. QB had a
Actually, the QB had a slacker head angle (72.5 vs. 73) than the Ram/Roadeo.
Also, the angles will get less steep as your slide the wheel back (it drops
the rear end of the bike).
See:
http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/pdf/quickbeam_geometry.pdf

Going by memory, I think I kind of cheated that stat: Roadeo and Legolas with
the lightest, Quickbeam and A. Homer Hilsen with the next lightest.
