shadowchaser-d Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I have heard that the campag shifters can be "serviced" How often does this need to be done and can any bike mechanic do this?
Johan Bornman Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Yes they can be serviced and it should be done when the shifters have lost their "click." Up to that point nothing should be done to them. Can any bike mechanic do this? I've seen bike mechanics who remove pedal bushings in a flat-jawed vice and who put loctite on spokes and who change the customer's chain and sprockets when the chain shows light between it and the sprocket and who remove grease from tapered press-fits and and and.... Do it yourself.
