It's almost like a tuning fork "frequency vibration"- It's not there all of the time but it's a annoying all of the same. Help?
Found the culprit: The Shimano c ables were rattling against each other, a problem I didn' have with Campy since their cables come straight back out of the brifter housing whereas ****manos come out in the inside.
Solution: Foam adhesive strips wrapped around where the cables touch each other.
Good night!
