Campy Ergopower problem.

inline behind the brake lever, it points outwards.

What year? Some do point outwatrds a bit. If it is clicking,
the lttle rubber '[censored]' may be missing.

My left one does that too, and it's c. 2000, and didn't do
that at the beginning. When I overhauled my shifters I was
hoping it would correct itself, but didn't. Then I noticed a
small hairline crack in the shifter housing, probably from a
crash. The outward rocking motion used to shift that shift
lever opens the crack. I'm wondering if that's what's going
on with mine. I find too that it is necessary to swing the
lever just a bit farther to get the shift.

O.:

If this is an older set of ergos (pointy headed ones), it
may have a roll pin set where the shift blade meets the
lever body. This is a wearing surface and occasionally needs
to be tapped a little further in to optimize the shift blade
position. Otherwise one of those little round rubber bumpers
with adhesive (available at your friendly local hardware
store) may be placed on the inside of the body in the spot
where the shift blade hits to shim it out. Try it before you
remove the paper over the adhesive and trim with a knife to
the size and thickness necessary to maximize the aesthetics
of the blade position.

This is easy to fix, have at it!

Hi All..

As I was putting new handle bar tape on I notised that the
gearlever (behind the brake lever) on my left Ergopower
have a small problem. Instead of sitting inline behind the
brake lever, it points outwards. Shifting is otherwise
normal, but when I use my brake, it makes a cliking sound
since the gear lever is out of line with the small rubber
pad placed on the back of the brake lever. What could be
wrong???

Regards

What year? - '03 Record Carbon.

Some do point outwatrds a bit. - yes, but the tip of the
left one is sticking some 5-6mm longer out, than the one
on the right.

If it is clicking, the lttle rubber '[censored]' may be missing. -
no, still there, and I do have spares ;-)
