Campy repair.

splat

Nam I am
So Thursday Night riding home from work , My sift laver snaps of as I go to Down Shift.

It is an older Campy 8 Speed. it still shift nice and Crisp, so no reason to upgrade. but now can't shift since no Lever.

so I take it to my local shop. and they look and say we can't do anything with that, we are having a tough time even getting the 9 speed parts.

and then they look and say that is not even a replaceable part because it is riveted on ( I broke it below the rivets ) . butthey go to there junk drawer and find an old camp brake/shifter hthat has been taken apart and only has but still has the sift lever . they showed it and gave it to me and said I could give it a try but really felt It was time for me to retire the old stuff.


well I drilled out the rivet got the lever off, did the same to my handle , was abel to replace the rivet with a 4-40 screw, the bitch was getting the return spring lined back up and in its grove , but all told took about 45 minutes and I'm back in buisness.

woo hoo.

Im over here now
be glad you were able to fix it...youre shop is right, 9speed is indeed hard to come by and 8speed is near impossible from the normal distributors
