Without changing the dropout screws, keeping the same Regina Oro chain, not as much as readjusting the limit stop screws, I gave it a test ride and to my utter amazement the thing shifts beautifully! No hesitations, no funny noises, it seems to shift across all the cogs happily.

Then the rain started pouring down again. So far, so good.

Yeah, I too have run a 28 tooth freewheel and a 36 tooth chainring on a Peter Johnson triplized NR crank without problems. Sad, but it helps with beatup old knees.
