I need to repair my Veloce 10sp RH Lever. It skips 3or4 gears when upshifting and I have to change back down.
Is there a link for re-build instructions please?
Chris

  • Hi Chris,

    Try this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t0ttU_J ... ed&search=

    this gives lots of related videos as well.

    I rebuilt some Chorus circa 2000 levers earlier this year, be aware that there appear to be lots of variations to models , so best to find as much as you can-- a google helps as well.

    Have fun!!

  • get a pair of the G-springs Mercian or Condor cycles will have them.

    take lots of photos as you dismantle them. Replace a la Haynes manual

    It isn't too difficult
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.

    Get an extra thumb grafted-on and hold the lever in a vice - re-assembly is the tricky bit
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    My first go took about 4 hours. I can now do them in about half an hour.

    Definitely a skill worth learning I now carry spare parts in stock and any problems I rebuild and clean them.

    Be methodical and take your time. clean all the parts and make a record of how it goes together especially the spacers and springs.

    Fitting the last spring requires all the tools to be near since you cant let go.

    I got the parts form Mercian the only problem is their minimum order charge of £10 G springs are 60 p each.
    Racing is rubbish you can\'t relax and enjoy it- because some bugger is always trying to get past.
