The previous posts on this should be correct, as the uppper shroud does end up in the forward chainplate. The lower ends up on the inner chainplate, the intermediate on the remaining (aft, outer) chainplate. Just a note: the spreader ends on my rig appear to make this an easy issue to resolve. The ends of my spreaders have slots that are clearly different in diameter - that is they are configured to clearly acccomodate only certain sized rod rigging (note that your rods are various diameter sizes). Also, the shroud that is "passing-through" at any given point should have a bullet-shaped "fat" part on the rod that aligns the rod with the corresponding spreader cap slot. As I write this, it occurs to me that it might be possible to reverse the spreader end caps to confuse this issue, but my ends (I believe) really only allow the rods to pass through one way. At any rate, I never completely remove my spreader caps for three reasons: first, it keeps me from losing the caps or all the screws in the grass on our YC lawn. Second, it keeps me from accidentally reversing the caps (per this topic) and finally, it (among other tricks) helps this aging father to remember which way to re-attach the spreaders themselves each Spring when I re-assemble the rig after winter storage (something I spent some time pondering the first year I had to re-assemble the rig after storage). |
