I have an old Pinarello Stelvio from 1996 with Campa Athena
components. I am having great difficulty adjusting the back derailleur
properly. No matter how I adjust the derailleur, the top four gears of
the cassette will not shift correctly. If the chain is on the fourth
gear, it regularly touches the fifth gear, the same for each following
gear. If I adjust the wire tension so that the chain doesn't touch,
the tension is so loose that the shift from the eighth gear to the
seventh gear won't work and the shift from the first to the second
won't work either.
I have spent hours trying to get it working as it used to, but no
luck. The low and high of the derailleur is correctly adjusted. I have
replaced both cable housings and wires. The chain and cassette are not
old. I can't understand how the jumps of the derailleur are not
constant. It is as if the derailleur travels too far when moving
toward the upper gears.
The back wheel is not a Campa hub, but a Mavic 571 with a Campa
cassette. The combination of the Mavic hub and Campa derailleur has
always worked well in the past.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. If the shifter or derailleur
need replacing is there a modern Campa that would still work with my 8
speed setup?
