Headed out for a ride this morning and, as soon as I shifted to the big ring, the cable snapped. Well, was not even a block away so I turned around and grabbed my backup bike for the ride. When back home, I found I had a spare cable so went to work. I did not see the cable head so I snaked the old cable through, after snipping off the frayed end, and it went up through the shifter body and out the housing end. So, in with the new cable, tightened things down and found the clicks now did not pull any cable. Hmmm, looked into the shifter body but could not see anything.
As Campy shops are scarce as hen's teeth I remembered a new shop opened not long ago on Belair Rd in Baltimore. Sort of a part time shop run by a local paramedic. Called and found him there. Quick drive down and he checked out my bike. He thought maybe the shifter died but, it turned out the cable head found a nice hiding place in the mechanism causing all my problems.
He removed the old part, installed a new cable and I was back in business in about 10 minutes. Only charged me $10!!! I picked up some other parts while there.
So, if any Campagnolo users live around Baltimore, MD, check him out!
