Thanks JJ

Nicely done, no excessive un-needed content or comments. The shorter and to the point the better, just like meetings at work!
Seeing your bike has me wondering why on earth pay thousands of dollars for a new bike when these old vintage machines are perfectly functional and beautiful to look at.

Use the valve stem as a reference point and measure at the same part of the rim every time by rotating the wheel. There are two measurements, horizontal and vertical. Use the same point of reference for maximum accuracy.

When I tried to do this on my steel bike a few years ago I couldn't get the Park tool to thread in. Some of these older bikes have a different derailleur thread. The derailleur itself, also a Campy NR as in the video, threaded right back in so it wasn't that the threads were damaged.
