  1. This is a bit weird so bare with me.
    Ok I have a campy hub with campy cogset with shimano spacers (8 speed) and At
    first I had sachs ergo shifters and now I have bar ends. I also have a newer DA
    RD.
    Ok this setup worked fine for about 2k I had the rim go bad and to use a
    cheaper shimano wheel for about a month. Well I get the new rim on and the
    mechanic ( a really good one) greases the hub and checks it out.
    Well I put it on and off I go it sounds like the RD needs adjustment. Well that
    is no biggie. I take it to the stand then ext day and get it perfect. But once I
    start riding it is bad again. Plus I had the brakes perfect and now they are
    rubbing.
    Well I check and the hub is a bit loose I get him to fix that and shifting is
    better. But it still sounds like it is a bit off. But it is perfect on the
    stand.
    So any idea's what's causing it? He said the campy hub is in good shape. I am
    thinking the chain may be a problem. And I can check that today. The chain may
    have a bit more the 2000 miles on it. I am a heavy rider so that may have caused
    more wear.

    Chain may be it. Measure the wear and learn more about chains:

    adjustment.html If those 2 things don't care for it, you may have some
    spacing issues that are not compatible with the shifter indexing, rear
    derailer, and the cog spacing.
