I have used the Super record with 52/42 front rings and a 30 tooth rear sprocket (Maillard/ Sachs 8 spd). This normally will not work , mainly because the the cage will touch the top of the sprocket teeth. Therefore I adapted the Super record top pivot for a 3 mm screw to bring the body further backwards, to increase the clearance between the derailleur cage and the sprocket. That, in combination with the (critical) correct chain length will do the trick.
