This is a bit weird so bare with me.
Ok I have a campy hub with campy cogset with shimano spacers (8 speed) and At first I had sachs ergo shifters and now I have bar ends. I also have a newer DA RD.
Ok this setup worked fine for about 2k I had the rim go bad and to use a cheaper shimano wheel for about a month. Well I get the new rim on and the mechanic ( a really good one) greases the hub and checks it out.
Well I put it on and off I go it sounds like the RD needs adjustment. Well that is no biggie. I take it to the stand then ext day and get it perfect. But once I start riding it is bad again. Plus I had the brakes perfect and now they are rubbing.
Well I check and the hub is a bit loose I get him to fix that and shifting is better. But it still sounds like it is a bit off. But it is perfect on the stand.
So any idea’s what's causing it? He said the campy hub is in good shape. I am thinking the chain may be a problem. And I can check that today. The chain may have a bit more the 2000 miles on it. I am a heavy rider so that may have caused more wear.
