Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 17, 2014 Share Hi Madmarc Its just the plastic shift lever on the right hand side.Hoping you have one to sell methat can work.IMG_20140917_060424.jpgIMG_20140917_060445.jpg YOu can fix that yourself while you wait for a new one to arrive... Get a piece of plastic, some epoxy, a small drill bit (put it in your drill) and some picture-frame wire (the thin, gold coloured stuff) Drill a hole in each end of the plastic splint, and in each piece of the lever (obviously line them up properly so that the holes are in the same place) and then thread the wire through the one set of holes and tie it up. Then wrap the lever and splint together tightly, and then tie it off n the 2nd set of holes (start on the section of lever that's still attached to the STI - it'll be easier like that) and then once splinted and tied off, coat it in epoxy... It'll be a fix, and it'll work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA-Q001 Posted September 17, 2014 Share I needed to replace the springs in one of my campy shifters recently. Went online, got the part number, asked my LBS to order it, the 2 springs cost R54 and postage R60, so he said he will order something with it to cut the postage. Its also really one of the easiest shifters to take apart. Oh and you do not glue Campy! You'll lose style points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting it together is what matters, and I'm not quite brave enough to take shifters that expensive apart myself. I go to Jared at BMC and I let him sweat for his money!

Jakkals. Posted September 17, 2014 Share New Campy 2015 stuff arriving sooooooonnnnn.Time to get some toys? So do you also reckon 2015 FD/RD wont work with previous Ergos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted September 17, 2014 Share I've read on another forum guys say it won't work. The co. in question actually goes out and TEST the compatibility between stuff.So they took it on them to see what goes where and how. And they say nope......won't work. They even went so far as to disassemble the 2014 levers and replace the inner body with a 2015 body (Sold as a spare part) and they could not.

droo Posted September 18, 2014 Share I'm pretty sure the agents will have, you just need to find a bike shop that speaks Campy. Most don't, and just assume it's like Shimano and not meant to be repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
