quick release campagnolo brakes

[Dave5N]

You are totally lacking in style and you have no shame. blah blah blah etc etc

My Ridley Crosswind trumps your Uncle whoever.

 

[Dave5N]

Ridley Crosswind with Shimano groupset, that is.

 

[gkerr4]

see, the crosswind is actually quite cool - but the Shitmongo groupset just ****s it up

fear not though - you can redeem yourself by selling the parts of fleabay and getting a campag-god-nolo group to put on that lovely frame

 

[mickle]

Tell it like it is gkerr4.

 

[Herlihy]

There is a little bar on the brake lever just above the pivot which you want to push to the outside.

Thanks . That worked.

 

[Dave5N]

Tell it like it is gkerr4.

K'off.

I have a cold.

 

[mickle]

Fu ckoughs and colds take Anadin.

 

[Dave5N]

AAAAARGH Will do

 

[jpembroke]

My Ridley Crosswind trumps your Uncle whoever.

oh yeah, but can you ride it like a Belgian?

 

[Dave5N]

It depends which Belgian you have in mind.

 

[jpembroke]

Oh, I don't know: Sven Nys, Bart Wellens, the guy in the Frites van.

 

[Dave5N]

I'm a hell of a lot quicker than that fat bloke with the beer who shouts a lot, I'll have you know.

 

[jpembroke]

Hey, that's my Dad you're talking about.

Anyway, my Uncle John is a great ride (and has Shimano 105 by the way. Shhhhh.)

 

[Saddle bum]

Campag sullied by shimano brakes???????

<shudder>

Almost an obscenity.

You are totally lacking in style and you have no shame. You are less hip than an elbow and should go lie down in a dark room without windows and just think about what you just said.

Go on!

Is the fact that this combination is on a classic 80s Moulton AM bike any use in mitigation? I know I should put Campag brakes on it, but the alternative (using Shimano levers) was just too awful to contemplate, even for me. Moulton do it, but even I shudder at those awful eyesores Shimano call brake levers.

I may eventually Campag-ize other parts, but Campag don't make any suitable hubs...
