Can't because the diameters both at the body and on the
shaft are different. The MIR-VEL-DAY-CEN Ergo body is
cheaper because the REC-CHR body includes the bearing

I thought Chorus did away with the bearing system. My carbon levers don't
have that BB system stamped on them.

What Andy Muzi said. They ran outta room to put 'bb system' on it.

ERGO bodeis here, whether they be Veloce/Centaur or Chorus/Record are
pretty much the same $$.

Funny, then, that the Campy book's tech specs for them are different. Only
Record is shown to have BB not bushing.

Chorus 2006 has BBs according to www.campagnolo.com/pdf/spares06_A.pdf -
page 71 - EC-RE026.

Thanks for the info Andrew & Peter.

Thanks for showing me that. The printed stuff I have from Campy (plus the
answer from the local shop) said the opposite. I guess that makes me
happier.

EC-RE-026, part number for the bearings in Chorus levers in the Campag
parts blowup book,

Yes, but I assumed a worn one wasn't new. He didn't specify
year.

We used to average and charge the same for all Ergo bodies
but lately you are paying $10 more for ball bearing models.

The 2005 book doesn't SAY ball bearing in the text for
Chorus, only for Record. What year is yours, Pete?

What is more likely: a mistake in that text or mistake in the pdf's?

> What year is yours, Pete?

Actually I was enquiring on behalf of a friend so I'm not sure of the
year. Doubt it's 05 or 06; 10-speed model so can't be ancient.
