Campagnolo ergo shifter and repair
At Borg Wheels we can undertake service and repair all Campagnolo 8, 9, 10 speed ergo shifters.
8-speed models use the ultra-type shifter, which allows multiple shifts and a micro ratchet for the front derailleur. While replacement paddles and thumb levers might be a problem, worn g springs and spring carriers are not. Upgrade to 10 speed is possible.
Later 9-speed ergos again use many parts that can be taken from 10-speed ergos so again these can be repaired or even upgraded to 10-speed. However, in practice, the parts needed are not available separately
Escape type 9 speed ergos can be repaired, too if a lever breaks, but again, spare availability is the issue. If it skipping shift or not holding a gear that is not repairable.
10 speed ultra shifters (BB system micron or its other names with the second-generation shape) can be serviced. Replacement springs and spring carriers can rectify most shifters that have stopped shifting well or just stopped shifting. Replacement thumb shifters and paddles are also possible.
There are two current ergo body spares that can be used for mirage, veloce, centaur, chorus or records ultra shifters, EC -CH100/101 and EC-RE200/201. These are direct swaps for any shifter of this type. Any spares beyond G springs and spring carriers come from dismantled ergo bodies of these part numbers.
10/11/12 speed ultra shift repairs are generally served by replacement ergo bodies of which we stock them all. Repair is possible but sourcing spares is a problem, and it is normally not cost effective.
If you have a job for us contact us and we can advise. Send shifters by tracked postage with return address and phone number/email. All work to be paid for once completed before we send it back. Postage back is with royal mail special delivery only in the u.k or UPS if abroad. We can take no responsibility for lost items. Hence the insured postage as we can at least put a claim in.
Happy shifting.
In order to complete a repair, send your shifter to us with enclosed on paper your name, shipping and billing address, phone number, and email address, all in legible writing. I will not accept details by email. If those details are not on paper, I will not start the repair.
Costs
Mirage, Veloce, Centaur or Chorus 9 or 10 speed Ultra shifters (muliple up and down clicks) cost typically £90 to strip and service for a right hand pair, including Royal Mail Special delivery return postage for U.K address.
Record 9 and 10 speed ergos use a more expensive to service as they use a lighter spring carrier. If I use the correct parts, then the cost for a pair serviced is £115, including return postage (Royal Mail Special Delivery). If the cheaper parts are used, then the cost is as above for veloce, centaur and chorus ergos.
Older 8 speed ergos and early 9-speed ergos with the pointy hoods can also be serviced. Modification to the right-hand spring carrier is required. Cost for a pair serviced including return postage (Royal Mail Special Delivery) £95 for the extra work needed.
