Campag Chorus Ergos

dilemna

Hi,

I have a set of Campag Chorus Double Ergo levers circa 2003 that have jammed. They have since been replaced, but am looking to see if I can get them working again as I'd like to fit them to another bike.

The right (rear deraillieur) levers will not move so cannot change either up or down - jammed. I think the left hand (front deraillieur) is the same. I didn't use the bike that much for a periodof about 6 months so they hadn't had that much wear. The bike might have sat in the garage (dry) for about 6 months. When I came to use it found I couldn't as levers had jammed. So had to get replacments. In comparision my Ultegra STIs have operated faultlessly.

Are they difficult to dismantle and if so are they straight forward to service and obtain replacement parts. Are special tools required and are there any maunals with pics anywhere? Alternatively Is there anyone who services them?

Any advice or help greatly appreciated.

The ratchet housing has probably split - exploded diagram are downloadable via the Campagnolo website and you should be able to find some videos on YouTube too. Check out Mercian for the parts or they'll do it for you for about £25

Thanks guys.

They look complicated to dismantle.
It maybe better to give Mercian a ring.
