Re: Try RSI Cycles in the UK - as importer of Marchisio, I am pretty sure they still have 26 mm thread lockrings in the range. www.rsi-cycles.com

Re: The thumb shifters were a good design - they worked and were very durable, just a bit hefty in design. The twist grip worked well but as it was the whole grip that twisted, rather than just a collar (like SRAM etc), the problem used to be unintentional shifting. Without modification of...

No, the current(ish) part EC-RE111 is different to EC-RE011 although with careful use of a hacksaw and a file, it can be made to fit - in fact that's pretty much the only option now as EC-RE011 went out of production / availability from the factory some time ago - having said which there might...

Re: The normal reason for soft post-spring-replacement action is that the spring mount ring has developed two small indents under the heels of the springs, and that the drillings that the tails of the springs pass into have become slack. In general we recommend replacement of the spring mount...

Re: Is it Centaur road double or triple, or is it from the old Centaur OR groupset? If it's OR it's 124 assymettric on Campag proprietory square taper (somewhere between ISO and JIS and with a longer taper-to-shoulder dimension than either, so you have to be careful about BBs otherwise you can...

Re: Nothing I know of in Campag-land with variable FD sping tension:-) Definitely sounds like spring mount ring issues ...

Last one to look at - levers fully tight on the bar? If the lever can move (likely out of the saddle on full gas) you might get phantom shifting but I think you'd notice the displacement of the lever ... Yep, if all Campag cable you should be OK on that score. Not so many of the 3rd party...

It's also worth checking your set up - if the FD is coming up against the high limit screw part way between clicks, then the cable will be held under a fraction more tension as you push the lever across to acheive the click & the FD doesn't move any further. A pull or sometimes a jolt will then...

Sometimes it's worth taking a close look at the spring mount ring (EC-RE112), they can crack through, though it's not that common on LH - happens on RH much more often, I guess as the number of shifts is far higher. The damage isn't always easy to see but you can open it out with your fingers...

Re: Actually One-Eyed-Jim, it was the other way about - Campag used to supply with the hub but changed when they more-or-less harmonised the whole lockring thing, ditching the two variations on thread size and settling on one thread diameter / cassette body spec for 9, 10 & 11s hubs (well, two...

I'd have said that cutting and brazing the BB way too drastic in a case like this. Best bet if all tooling / clamping options as discussed above fail, whilst being a bit long winded & inclined to make you swear, is a pad-saw. Cut a small section cross-wise relative to the BB shell out of the...

Re: Back in the day I used Regina BX with no problems on these hubs - I seem to recall just reaming a remover out.

Re: Some years ago, Campagnolo made a conversion kit that allowed the then-current Campagnolo Oversize hub bodies to fit older 8s hubs, but they stopped offering this kit around 2008. Now there is no option to resurrect these old hub designs. AFAIK, Shamal was not offered in the 90s with a...

Re: I did find a couple of combinations that worked "acceptably" but it took a while - the Croce d'Aune RD with a Sedis chain and a Regina America 6 speed, or a Regina Synchro (later) freewheel worked sort of OK so long as the block was "straight" or nearly so ... but they were not great. It...

Re: If you are after the 0.5 mm toothed version SP-RE202, we have them in stock. The earlier SP-RE102, with the 1 mm tooth pitch is now very, very rare and I think it unlikely you will find a new one - you might from a seatpost that someone has scrapped but generally this is the part that...

Re: Notes above are correct for shell width and spindle length, but bear in mind that Campagnolo use ISO tapers on their BBs since 2000 or so, prior to that, their own - so if it's *very* old Chorus, to get correct chainline and to avoid the risk of damaging the tapers, you'll need a matching...

Ho hum Campagnolo is no more complex than Shimano or SRAM, it's just the bike shops are familiar with Shimano so most, when asked about Campag will be less willing to commit as they don't see so much of it. There is, however, no great mystery or complication (or no greater than that with the...

Re: Definitely clean the pads and rims, make sure that there are no little bits of debris embedded in the pads. Sometimes worth a pass with a flat file to take any heat-generated glaze off the pads. Check for wear - it may be the wheel guides are catching the rim if the pads are very worn...

I think if this is mid 90s the chainset *may* be Athena - this looks like the Chorus 1988-1991 chainset - after that the shape was more like C-Record but without the "hidden" crank bolt. See: http://www.velobase.com/ViewComponent.a ... 5&AbsPos=0 (88-91) http://www.velobase.com/ViewComponent.a...
