Hi Juhani and RBWer's I looked at the photo in your post and immediately thought - the cables on the wrong side of the fixing bolt. But knowing how I have a penchant for having a big mouth and for being incorrect at times with my snap judgments, I withheld saying anything till I had a look around the house at mine. So my Campy derailer cables are fixed on the bottom side - which doesn't proof anythiing - but I do have a NORMAL pull 9 speed XT RD with the groove in the casting for the cable on the underside of the bolt. Your reverse pull may require a different attachment point, I'm not familiar with them. Any way it may be worth a look, and certainly would be a cheap fix. Hope this helps.
