This has happened to me before - I ended up spraying a load of Muc Off silicone shine inside. I guess it made it super slippy inside the shifter and it got it going again. Worth a go if you’ve got it knocking around

You need to be a bit careful with what lube you spray into Veloce shifter bodies, in Veloces Campag swapped traditional metal ratchets for plastic vinyl which are weak and are now known to fail. I had a set fail. Progress eh?
Apparently avoid spraying things like WD40 in there as it degrades the plastic...

Right / rear-mech shifter on my everyday bike has gone wonky. They're Veloce 10s UltraShift, new shape. Thumb shifter is fine, down shift paddle is swinging loose. It shifts ok if I push it forward while pressing left. Feels like a spring that pushes a "tooth" against a ratchet is gone or something.
Any ideas? I've got some donor shifters I think, and The Cycle Clinic has replacement shifter bodies if all else fails.
