If you're into retro, keep your hands in your pockets!

Not in SD but Diablo Wheelworks in the LA area kills it. Ryan has done a lot of work on Campy stuff and I've always walked away happy.

The FD sounds like it just needs to have the stop screws checked and the height of the cage to large ring clearance verified. If this is a compact (34/50), it's my experience that they are fussier about dropping the chain when cross chained to start with. I'm a believer in a chain watcher. |

Go to MOMENT Bicycles located in Point Loma (Liberty Station, right next to STONE Brewery). They speak Hi-End, including Campy. After you're done, go next door and get yourself some quail legs and chase them with a pint of Ruin Ten IPA.

Moment also just opened a new store in Carmel Valley Rd and Del Mar Heights near Hwy 56.

Yes. Check in with Kevin the owner. He is a superb Campy tech and a lot of fun.

Thanks everyone! I'll report back when the "problem" is solved.

Another recommendation, which is from personal experience, though also North County, is Rocky's custom bikes. The best idea I've seen hear is calling Campagnolo NA for a recommendation based on the service needed. |

Spot is a great guy and a very dear friend of mine. I worked with him at Adam’s Avenue for a few years. We had another mechanic, Dan Large who i’m sure many of you have met through trade shows etc. He was literally THE guy in San Diego for Campy stuff and is now the Technical Service Manager for Campagnolo North America.

Little things make these groups sing. Like lube in housing, housing cut cleanly and long enough. Front der isn't as complicated as 5800/6800/9000 but needs to be done right-3 clicks to big ring. 'Lock up? Make sure hood isn't fouling the thumb button in any way. If it isn't all the way 'up', the lever won't shift.

Long, long gone but the mechanic, my good friend Thomas Spot Rhodes is working at Adams Avenue Bikes, my lbs now. He's still a good Campy guy. Go see him. Gordon just had a soft opening for the new Velo Hangar in Carlsbad. He's building up my gravel bike right now. If you're up in North County, he is top notch. He'll also do pick up and delivery if you're nice. Last edited by ptourkin; 03-21-2017 at 10:16 AM. |

As others have suggested, Gordon at Velo Hangar in Carlsbad, or Chuck at Pacific Coast Cycles in Oceanside, opposite Urge Gastropub. He has the tools for the job.

He and the shop were awesome! Thanks for the recommendation. |
