  1. My rear gear has just started to make a clicking noise from the rear - one click per wheel
    revolution, and has also become prone to slipping a gear when under load going up hill (Campag
    Mirage kit).

    I seem to have cured it by giving a few turns on the cable tensioner (the bike's about 6 month old
    with 600 miles on the clock)

    ...yes, pathetic, I know, but its not my only bike!

    ...anyway, am I likely to have sorted it, or do I need to be aware of some exact and arcane science
    re: cable tension??

    Campag must be adjusted only by specially trained virgins wearing white gloves.

    OK, not really. Campag's website has downloadable instructions: I would go and grab some and
    probably have a look at sheldonbrown.comsheldonbrown.com as well.

    The science of cable adjustment is fairly precise in my experience and worth learning the Proper
    Technique as it prolongs sprocket and chain life.
