You got my countdown perfect Andy... I think it was Dommy you forgot about.
And my time wasn't half bad, thankyou very much!There I was, waiting for my 10 seconds...
"Oh fuck, sorry, 765...4.....3.....2.....1"
To be fair the the sheepish "sorry!" as I rode off made me chuckle.
Next year you need to do the full 5 finger countdown and say it in French for maximum effect.

My lungs are still fucked.

dibs on levers and rear mech (depending on condition, would like to see pics!)

If we're lucky, then this could be the first event on the new surface, .
Not sure this is 'lucky'. It'll be like marbles rolling round a tray.

Would it be a good idea to approach the guv'nors of the Effra/C&H?
I'm in for some South viewing...+1 to this.

It was the Giro, not the Tour.
I had the pleasure of meeting Fiorenzo Magni a few years ago, he's a gentleman.
Fiorenzo Magni rides into second place in the '56 TdF with a broken collar bone, biting down on a piece of handlebar tape for the pain. HTFU personified.
He was actually using that piece of tape to operate his back brake because he couldn't do it with his hand.

Veloce is a pretty entry level groupset so I think the chances of them being serviceable or of you getting parts would be slim.
Totally wrong. All ergo levers can be fully disassembled, parts changed and re-assembled.
If you're feeling brave you can do it yourself with the help of the following resources:-
You haven't said what speed your levers are or whether they are the older 'Escape' type or the newer 'Power shift' type, so I've put links to both
Ergopower 'Escape' levers overhaul video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_2G5NgluQM&feature=related
there's probably one for power shift levers somewhere.
This page on the campag website has spare parts diagrams - once you've identified which bits you need you can get the code and order from somewhere like Condor Cycles or Mercian
If you want someone to do it for you then Bike Whisperer, I believe Mercian also service them as well

Sun is shining over Norwood road / Herne Hill now....
-
bigben, as luck would have it, yes - I wanted the blue one!
are you in London? If so I could get peter to send them to me and then can arrange to give you the other one.
-
dibs.
is that £40 or did you mean 40 euros?
-
how many holes?
-
Condor cycles will sell you campag spares. I would wager that a limit screw on an 8 speed derailler be the same as a 10 speed one.
Just send them an email
-
yeah I do it all on a work surface now....
the lower end campag jocky wheels don't have bearings, just metal bushes. I replaced mine with tacx ones that have bearings.
You can go crazy and get some with ceramic bearings but that's a bit OTT
-
Also, the bolts and bits and pieces are quite small so try not to drop them down the sink.....
-
Lazy cunts. If you're only 5 minutes away they could have walked it round to you!
-
It's the levers that do the click, not the rear mech.
Unattach the cable from the rear mech, see if the lever still clicks. If it doesn't then its fucked and needs an overhaul.
If it does, it might be something in the rear mech. Clean and lube is your first task, then re-attach the cable and try re-indexing.

Sorry folks, totally forgot I'd put me name on the list for this, had a big wedding yesterday and was in no fit state this morning.
hope you had a good ride!

I'm in SE27, round the corner from HH
It rained over here earlier but stopped about 45 mins ago and looks like it's now passed over. Its overcast but white fluffy clouds with a hint of blue sky coming through.
-
Is it new?
Send it back...

There's some bikes locked up to racks round my way advertising bike mechanic services.
Parasites.

Dibs on both the chainrings please.

Damn...that's shite.
Stuff like this makes me wish I had loads of money so I could replace all that shit pronto.
But I don't

cool ultra slomo vid of bikes on the cobbles
Good vis, but the closeups of bikes are obviously not in-race footage.
Love the bingo wings wobbling though.

The way I found it easiest to remember was that you screw the pedals on by turning them towards the front of the bike, and unscrew them towards the back.
