    Does anyone know how to replace a broken spring that returns the
    shifter after changing down the gears? I have a spare Ergopower 10sp
    Control from a previious accident but I can't work out how to remove
    the spring. At the moment I am using a rubber band over the two
    shifters to keep them together. It is possible to change down still
    but its obviously not a smooth as it could be.......

    On the Campagnolo spare part page it is listed as: EC-RE215

    2 excellent sources of info but if you wish to not tackle this, send
    it to me and I'll OVH it, one day turnaround. $35 labor, $5 for the
    part.

    'Returns the shifter', shift lever or thumb button?

    Either way, I have both parts.

    Thanks for all advice. The spring returns the shifter so that another
    shift can happen. I have put a rubber band round the two levers which
    allows the 'up-shifter' to bring back the 'down-shifter'....... and
    now, while I wait to replace the spring, I have gotten used to this
    solution and forgot to pursue it further..........good old rubber
    bands eh?
