urgent help needed! (campagnolo)

[Stu Merckx Man]

im building up my training winter bike and in the process of fitting the cables and cable casings.

what is the rear deraileur 'step down' casing for, and where does it go!!?!?!

[Andrew G]

If it's the short length of cable outer then it's the bit that goes between the chain stay and the rear derailleur in a little loop.

i had a feeling you would be the first to reply, what with the campagnolo in the title and all!

thank you andrew!

Isn't it the specially shaped (a bit like the top of a rocket, rather than flat) silver cable end? If so, it goes on the chainstay end of the cable housing Andrew mentioned.

Its exact purpose is unknown, but is probably to amuse Sean.

From the instruction book:

"Please note that thorughout this manual, reference is made that an "accident" could occur. Any accident could result in damage to your bicycle, its components and, more importantly, could casue you or a bystander to sustain severe personal injury or even death."

Mmm, when you fit your new cables, make sure that all 'bystanders' are well behind the safety barriers.

well ive fitted all my new cables and things now- relatively successfully...


its doesnt matter about that funny shaped bit i was asking about any more though.... it pinged off the cable housing when i had the cable bent, and flew into a bush

however, everything seems to be working fine!......for now.........

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]The Title alone said it all for me.

Cause it might have been about some piece of massively expensive but shoddily built piece of campag kit explosively & hilariously self-destructing

Apparently it happens quite a lot.
