As above, it's the spring that holds the right hand lever forwards against the brake. It broke today, I can still shift but the lever flops around.

I gather I can't buy the spring itself, but does anyone know if there is a repair kit or assembly, and if so where from?

It's 2010 Chorus 11, possibly under warranty but as I have some races coming up this weekend (and only one bike) I have to sort it pretty quickly.

    Give Mercian Cycles a call, they can advise/repair
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Thanks for the info!
    After some frantic calling, my LBS can get the whole RH shifter assembly tomorrow for around 90€ (I'm in Spain), but the distributor only has Super Record in stock. I think it's only the lever that's different between SR and Chorus anyway. There's only a 5€ difference in price too... it seems too cheap to me (not in the sense that it's a crappy 2c spring that's broken obviously :roll: ), would expect an SR unit to be horrendously expensive, so I hope it's the right part.

    If that works out ok, I can get the broken unit repaired as a spare, at the place Velonutter posted, without having to go bikeless... or use it for parts. Cheers!
