In mid-December, when the roads generally were not clear anymore, I took my road bike apart for a
complete service. This means an almost complete disassembly, cleaning, lubricating and putting it
all back together again.
I notice something unusual with the right Ergopower unit. When I pressed the lever, it would
occasionally miss some of the clicks. What I mean is that it would pull the cable twice the amount
it should for a single "click". The downshifting button works normally. The levers are 10-speed
Centaur levers from 2002 with about 11,000 km of use.
However, when I attach the cable to the rear derailer (put it under tension), the Ergopower seems
to work normally. It worked perfectly in the autumn, and now that I'm using the bike on the
trainer, I'm not noticing anything out of the ordinary. Is this a symptom of something that is
going to get worse?
