Campagnolo 2009 Ergopower Question

[TimDanaher]

If anyone's got the new-style, 10 or 11-speed Ergopowers, could you answer the following questions:

Which model do you have;

And how many click (trimming) stops are there for the front derailleur?

TIA,

Tim

 

[spandex]

Is it not 5!

 

[Ant]

I count four on my Veloce

 

[jpembroke]

Ah, the joys of old 9 speed ergos. I reckon I've got about 20.

 

[Will1985]

I count four on my Veloce

Four clicks or four positions (three clicks)?

 

[Ant]

Four positions, three clicks.

 

[TimDanaher]

Cheers -- No-one got Chorus / Record? Veloce appears to use the same crap 'escape' mechanism as Xenon...

I've got 10 speed Record on my Victoire, although they're a few years old.

I get 4 clicks moving from chainring to chainring, so I conclude that would mean 3 trimming positions.

[woohoo]

Ce*ta*r *ltrashifts: 5 positio*s, 4 clicks (b*t it was 4 positio*s, 3 clicks before I reattached the cable) o* a Compact 50/34.

2006 Chorus baby! (Sorry, that's really not helpful)

Old style L/H ergos had a multi ratchet - so jpembroke's 20 clicks sounds right so you could do whatever you liked with it and it worked. But it wasn't front indexing so they gave us QuickShift for dummies (ex Shimano users? ) that couldn't manage a front mech. The 2007 and 2008 QS ones (below Chorus) had 4 positions and more cable pull in an attempt to index them but still allow some trimming on a triple. Nobody liked QS so in 2009 they gave us UltraShift which I understand is multi-ratchet again but I haven't tried it so I don't know.

 

[TimDanaher]

Shite. I'm hoping that Chorus and above (and Athena, who knows?) are multi-ratchet, otherwise I'm fooked. Someone must know. None of the bike shops round here have it in stock...

 

[Ant]

Why, what's the problem? Just out of interest and idle curiosity

 

[TimDanaher]

Ant --- I use the LH lever to change the rear mech (only having one arm). It's actually do-able with the multi-ratchet version, you just have to click twice to go from 19-17 and 15-14.

I really don't want to have to go the bar-end shifter route.

 

[MartinC]

Ah! See the problem. Yes, can see that the new levers won't do the job.

Can you put a RH rachet in a LH lever?

Would these be better than bar ends? http://www.kellybike.com/2nd_xtra_takeoff.html
