take pics of what you have now tomorrow and post pictures later.
Or google some pics and see if you can see what is different between yours and others."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I'm with Andy_B. You need a top swing Derailleur, like the one above. Make sure it's the right size clamp for the seatpost though. Look for the seatpost diameter on the seat quick release or clamp.0 -
thanks for the help rang orange to day they said yes i need a top swing
why did i not do that in the first place :oops:if i had my time again would i take the time to make the right choices

and now we can see the pic we can see that you have not got a top swing fitted.
as guessed but it may have been another problem.
but all sorted now."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
