I notice that the ergo lever index spring holder (part EC-RE111 on the exploded diagrams) is now (in the 2004 diagrams) labelled as being supplied as a 5-piece packet. Is this campag's way of acknowledging that the part does tend to break rather often?
Also the Record lever now has a carbon part with integral springs: labelled EC-RE065, instead of the alloy EC-RE111. Anyone have any views as to whether this might be a good replacement to use for all broken spring carriers - ie will it be more robust? I wonder what it costs...
NB I've had 2 broken (right hand) ergo spring carriers in 3 years. Campag told me this is "unusual". I wonder... The symptom is that the shifting gets a bit soft or mushy. If you have this symptom I'd reckon it's much more likely that the carrier is broken rather than the springs worn out!

See if you can get Peter Chisholm or Andrew Muzi to give these issues some coverage. They are both very active and knowledgeable,,.. but on Rec.Bicycles.tech
