Setting Up 10 Speed Campy

Gary Jacobson

Shifting on a bike with 1500 miles on drive train lost crispness during a
ride. I started messing around with the barrel adjuster near head tube. Then
I really screwed it up.

Not sure what happened to shifting. Maybe worn chain.

No matter what, I'm going to have to "start over", and I've forgotten how to
set up Campy 10.
I could search out the official Campy instructions. More interested in how
wrenches set it up though.

Thanks.

Set it up like any rear der. Center the pulley on the smallest cog, rear der
and frameset barrel adjuster all the way in, inner wire wee bit slack, shift
once, turn barrel adjuster until pulley centered on second cog...shift up the
cogset, push on der body to ensure upper limit screw is set..then do the front
der...

Ok, I just did the adjustment, and at least on the stand it works fine. But
I remembered that Sachs, and maybe Mavic suggested to use the third or
fourth cog as the "set point". So I just went to official Campy site to see
what they had to say and they say to use the fourth cog.

Why would that be from a mechanical point of view? Does the tolerance for
center to center pulley under cog change as the deraillure arcs over the
course of the ten cogs? Or do they recommend the fourth cog because it is
easier to sight the c-c relationship?

Next I'll see what if anything Zinn has to say.

I realize this is "splitting hairs", and I'm more interested in what real
wrenches do than what an engineer says or a tech dude writes. I mean aren't
they same folks who say warranty voided if used in rain?
