Campagnolo band-on levers tension

Hi
My Campagnolo NR band-on shifters have lost the modulation when you apply tension on the D-ring adjuster, that grips the shifter in place with friction. So when you turn this, it goes from not-gripping to rather tight without any variation between. They used to have quite a bit of springiness in them.

Does the shifter have some kind of domed washer that allows you to apply friction pressure incrementally? I assume there'a just a part I can replace. Can anyone please enlighten me?
Thanks

not sure if this will help, but this image: http://www.ventoux.com/suntour_ld1500.gif gives you an exploded view of the shifters. my guess is that one of the washers is doomed.

Bollocks. just realised that was a Suntour lever. try this one instead: http://whatapalaver.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Gear-Shifter-Parts.jpg. Not quite as illustrated.

Aha, so I see there's two washers, that look conical/domed, near the adjuster screw. So I may be after a pair of those. I'm going to ask Campyoldy if he has replacement parts that will fix the problem, so I'm glad to see the exploded shifter, thanks. I've never taken them apart so it's good to know what's in there.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
