I had a spoke ticking the RD on my Super Course with a Suntour GT Luxe and 6 speed freewheel. I used a modern 1.37" id cassette spacer on the inside of the Shimano Megarange freewheel. It moved the whole chain and rd cage out just enough to clear the spokes. I also used the same size spacer under the fixed bearing cup to move the crank out and away from the frame so the inner chain ring bolts clear the frame. These spacers are very useful little devices, and look a lot cleaner than a dork ... sorry, ... spoke protector.
