Calling all Campy techs that have rebuilt Campy brifters. Question is...how many detents in the rachets for LH and RH Campy Brifters respectively? I believe it is 12 for the FD/LH Brifter and 10 for the RD/RH Brifter with 10 speed Campy driveline. Is this correct? Last question is...when setting up the cable for the FD...do you guys intially set cable tension to one side?...with all the slack out on the smallest chain ring? It stands to reason with 12 incremental clicks or so...or that much racheting capability...setting the cable initally with one or two clicks tension in the cable on the smallest ring may be a better target for intially setting the tension for the FD. In the rear of course, since it is one click for each cog, one doesn't have any choice but to set intial cable tension with RH brifter at full slack or last of 9 thumb clicks (10 speeds) with the chain on the smallest cog.
Thanks for any perspective,
George
