Hello! I have equipment compagnolo record titanium! There is a backlash in the rear derailleur. On the picture.
Can you do something or just buy a new one? Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia. Thanks!

Is the backlash from the dreailer or the hub? In my experience the hub is the culprit even though you see the the derailer 'kicking' (the freewheel isn't coasting so it pulls the chain which pulls the drailer). I'd say pop the freewheel apart, clean it, lube it, and then see how things work.
