Gnarly Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Looks like a good excuse to upgrade to Super Record EPS.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 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
JA-Q001 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 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!

BogusOne Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Can a dodgy person like Bogus not be able to make a carbon lever version for you if you send them the plastic lever?I can try
ThePubSA Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 If u got skills with q-bond you could re-attach or remake that whole lever.... poor mans 3d printer

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!
Spinnekop Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Campy is easy.Shimano is impossible to put together again.....just trust me on this one. heheheheh Never tried SRAM.....anyone I can borrow a SRAM lever from?
Spinnekop Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 New Campy 2015 stuff arriving sooooooonnnnn.Time to get some toys?
Jakkals. Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 New Campy 2015 stuff arriving sooooooonnnnn.Time to get some toys? So do you also reckon 2015 FD/RD wont work with previous Ergos?
Spinnekop Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 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.

Will rather save up for EPS then
Asterix Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 another reason why i Import as much as i can. campy is awesome. Just Source the part form overseas and DIY.

droo Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 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.
mr min Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks for all the advise fellow hubbers.I got it fixed by Niel at 4ever cycles in Durban North while on a business trip today between meetings.He is fluent in Campy.
