  1. Shifting on a bike with 1500 miles on drive train lost
    crispness during a ride. I started messing around with the
    barrel adjuster near head tube. Then I really screwed it up.

    Not sure what happened to shifting. Maybe worn chain.

    No matter what, I'm going to have to "start over", and I've
    forgotten how to set up Campy 10. I could search out the
    official Campy instructions. More interested in how wrenches
    set it up though.

    Thanks.

    Set it up like any rear der. Center the pulley on the
    smallest cog, rear der and frameset barrel adjuster all the
    way in, inner wire wee bit slack, shift once, turn barrel
    adjuster until pulley centered on second cog...shift up the
    cogset, push on der body to ensure upper limit screw is
    set..then do the front der...

  3. Ok, I just did the adjustment, and at least on the stand it
    works fine. But I remembered that Sachs, and maybe Mavic
    suggested to use the third or fourth cog as the "set point".
    So I just went to official Campy site to see what they had
    to say and they say to use the fourth cog.

    Why would that be from a mechanical point of view? Does the
    tolerance for center to center pulley under cog change as
    the deraillure arcs over the course of the ten cogs? Or do
    they recommend the fourth cog because it is easier to sight
    the c-c relationship?

    Next I'll see what if anything Zinn has to say.

    I realize this is "splitting hairs", and I'm more interested
    in what real wrenches do than what an engineer says or a
    tech dude writes. I mean aren't they same folks who say
    warranty voided if used in rain?
