I don't think there are any reverse-threaded items on the newer V7's other than the two shift linkages (one on each). I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
I adjusted mine and it was really an easy job to do...just half a turn and now it shifts like a dream...

Next time that thing needs to be adjusted I'll let you do it. I had a difficult time getting to it.
It would be my pleasure ..the only problem is that i live at the other part of the globe...

Ohhhh Shucks, I thought I'd found a clutch adjuster. It wasn't to bad, it was just not the easiest access, as you know. I hate anything that makes me lay on the ground with little space to work and not having a proper tool for that little stud was a pin in the butt. Found out....I guess a spoke adjuster tool can fit on that little stud adjuster.
By the way I visited Malta back in 1972 when I was on the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42. Met a couple girls and they invited me and a friend over to their village for some type of dance at a church, it was someplace in the middle of the island. They had some custom that when a girl gives you a flower during some special dance, if you dance with that girl it's sort of like a wedding proposal or something like that. All the old folks sat over to one side of the dance floor and keep tabs on everything, I guess they take that flower dance very seriously. I remember the gal really liked me and I liked her but time space and travel prevented things from happening beyond that flower dance. Malta wasa trip, I remember back then you could still see buildings bombed out from WW2 as we rode in that taxi over to that village for that dance. From the port to that village must have taken 30 minutes by taxi. Another thing I remember inside that church dance all the old women wore black, widows or something. The music was a bunch of old guys playing traditional music from the island. It was like stepping back in time.

The way it worked the old women would give each girl a flower and then the girl would pick the guy they like and give them the flower as a dance request. If you accepted and danced with the girl, it had some meaning to it like a pre engagement or something like that. I guess it was a very serious thing to those girls. Can't remember the girls name but I'm sure that place being an island you have run into her in your travels.
i ll ask about this tradition ...i ll ask my grandma

It's amazing how fast things are lost between generations.
I wonder if those girls were pulling my leg and trying to add drama to the whole thing. It sure did make me nervous. My other friend with me was scared we would end up hitched since this dance was in a church hall. I remember taking that girl for a walk after the dance and 3 old women followed behind us down the road, smiling ear to ear. Like I say it was sort of like stepping back in time. Sort of like one of those scenes in the Godfather. Everything around me looked like one of those scenes out of that movie.
