Just ordered this may work out nicely
That 'Problem Solvers' adapter/axle adjuster should work fine. This Shimano derailleur is an even simpler solution, and cheaper, at about $15 retail. The model pictured below is a Tourney RD-TY300-SGS. UPC # is 689228393639. The 'blurb' sez:
- TX models come with Smart Cage which gives MegaRange compatibility with a shorter derailleur cage
- Includes BMX/track frame hanger
