Campag cassette not fully dumping.
This is more of a curiosity / aesthetic-niggle thing than a problem as such, just wondering if it's unique to me or if others have noticed the same thing.
The high-end Campag groupsets famously supposedly allow you to "dump" the whole cassette, i.e. shift from the largest to the smallest sprocket with one push of the lever. However, whenever I try this on my Chorus setup and am shifting from the largest or the second largest sprocket the chain always ends up on the second smallest sprocket instead of the smallest one and requires a second nudge to get to the smallest sprocket. The lever makes the right number of clicks but the chain just doesn't make it all the way to the last sprocket. All other changes work flawlessly (e.g. I can shift from the third largest sprocket to the smallest sprocket with a single push). In practice it's not a problem, as you rarely want to dump the entire cassette and in any case it just takes a second nudge to do it, but it bugs me. A little.
It's nothing to do with the limit adjuster screw - it just seems that the springs in the mech aren't quite powerful enough to pull it all of the way across until the lever is reset.

Sounds like an adjustment problem???? or frame alignment???? but like you said
- but still.......as you rarely want to dump the entire cassette0
