bikemonster Posted January 16, 2007 Share Hi All As a recent convert to Italian (ciao bella!), there is one thing that I miss since saying 'sayonara' to Shimano: There is a lever-operated cam on Shimano brakes that allows the brake caliper to be opened just enough to allow the tyre to clear the brake pads. With Campag I need to persuade the tyre to clear the brake pads. Or is there some cunning stunt that I am missing? monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcyclist Posted January 16, 2007 Share Your Campy STI has a clip that opens the caliper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted January 16, 2007 Share On the Campy ergo there is a little "button" that allows the brakes to open a bit wider, not quite the same as the Shimano cam but it does the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted January 16, 2007 Share There is a little silver pin in the brake levers that slides left and right to "release" the lever that will open the brake arches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemonster Posted January 16, 2007 Share Thanks guys, I'll find that little button. That was easy. And there I was suspecting that my query would lead to a wakening up of a quiet hub. Perhaps I'll have to resort to starting a satanic evolution thread over on ChitChat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted January 16, 2007 Share the little silver button on the left... You need to depress the brake lever slightly to press the brake release button http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2006/tech/features/campaggroups2007/picture38.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted January 16, 2007 Share Sorry bikemonster but I can no longer resist this!!!! Your question is like asking: "how do you loosen a sports bra?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemonster Posted January 16, 2007 Share Sorry bikemonster but I can no longer resist this!!!! Your question is like asking: "how do you loosen a sports bra?" The answer to THAT question is very easy: Archers Aqua, Smirnoff Spin, Savanna...any of these will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikemonster Posted January 16, 2007 Share Psycho If she's drinking in a sports bra (which may or may not be the same as drinking in a sports bar), chances are you need to be using any tart fuel as a social lubricant. (Dons fireproof underwear, lights blue touch paper but does not retire...) SO...this dyslexic walks into a sports bra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
