The use of vintage derailleurs with modern freewheels may be impacted by your choice of chains...
Vintage derailleurs seem to work better with older and "stiffer" chains but not so well with moden chains that are more flexible.
What chain manuf/make do you use with your NR/SR derailleur & 7 speed freewheel?
