Front campy shifter problem
My relatively new Centaur front ergo shifter is failing to shift up to the
big ring intermittently. The cable is tight, not slipping. On occasion the lever simply doesn't seem to engage and moves freely w/ no movement of the cable. It is on a cross bike that has had some falls, but nothing that can be directly tied to the problem. As I said it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I have only had it on the bike this season, purchased new. Any thoughts? Thanx in advance, Andy |

Before you panic, check the little pivot on the thumb button - sometimes that sticks. Then, spray just a little bit of WD-40 into the front of the shifter where the little dogs engage the ratchet - they may be failing to engage. |
