Not what I wanted to hear. The one thing I love about riding my road bike is the lack of fettling I have to do
My 9 speed Campag Veloce is a winter bike that hasn’t been touched in terms of maintenance for a few years now. Ridden in all kinds of weather, never had an issue.
Admittedly the thumb shift down a ring is a bit KER-LUNK but never misses a beat. The newer stuff has a lighter click to the shifters, so much so that I think they went a bit too far a year or two ago and there was a lot of complaints.
Old school Campag Ergo is great because it’s still serviceable, the newer style is throwaway like Shimano and SRAM if it breaks badly. And you get double and triple compatibility in one shifter with the ability to trim the front mech. Newer versions might be ‘better’ but it’ll be a while before I have to worry about that.
